Dear MEL Topic Readers,
The firm that can 3D print human body parts
Printing a part of human body. Sounds a bit odd, doesn’t it?
3D printing is a process to create a three-dimensional object by forming layers of material under computer control. The technology has been used in manufacturing, medical, industrial, apparel and special purpose goods, such as a prototype for product development, engine and body parts, pottery and custom running shoes.
This new venture uses 3D bioprinters to grow cartilage and skin cells for pharmaceutical companies. It also markets bio-ink that can be mixed with any cell type with their 3D printers. The users of such 3D printing are academic institutions and pharmaceutical companies to mainly test on bio-printed human tissues. The company hopes that their 3D printing technologies could be used to produce organs for implantations.
Since every human being has unique physical characteristics, this custom parts printer seems to be an ideal solution, doesn’t it?
Enjoy reading and think of something that you want to be custom-built.
