An incision from the surgeon’s scalpel sends liquid oozing over the surface of a the lung, but on this occasion it doesn’t matter if something goes wrong — the doctor can simply create another model with a 3D printer. Continue reading “3D Printed Organs Offer Ultra-Realistic Practice Models”
3D Technology and Expert Collaboration Save a Patient’s Sight
It’s not an exaggeration to proclaim that 3D technology is saving lives. Aside from being an incredibly fascinating technology, additive manufacturing and accompanying technology like 3D scanning and modeling are providing solutions to formerly difficult if not insoluble problems. Continue reading “3D Technology and Expert Collaboration Save a Patient’s Sight”
3D-printed living tumors make a better model for cancer research
A research lab at Drexel University specializing in biofabrication recently used 3D printing to create models of tumor tissue that more closely replicate real tumors than traditional 2D tissue culture, to understand better of how tumors grow, and importantly, how they die. Continue reading “3D-printed living tumors make a better model for cancer research”
3-D printing cancer cells to mimic tumors
A group of researchers in China and the US have successfully created a 3D model of a cancerous tumour using a 3D printer. Continue reading “3-D printing cancer cells to mimic tumors”
