3D printing has a good future and a bad future. On the bad side, there are 3D printers which can print working guns (read our post on that<\/a>); on the good side, there are 3D printers which have started printing body parts. This post is about the good side (and it will be updated as the technology progresses).<\/p>\n

Please note that in this post we are not talking about prosthesis that remain made out of metal or plastic after implantation: we are describing objects that morph into living tissue<\/strong> once they are in you.<\/em><\/p>\n

3D printing used to rebuild British man’s face<\/h3>\n

\"face-reconstruction-3d-printing\"<\/p>\n

Hopefully people who have had their faces disfigured by accidents or surgery now have hope for near 100% restoration. How this accident victim\u2019s face was reconstructed.<\/a><\/p>\n

Californian Company Prints Liver Cells<\/h3>\n

30 December 2013<\/p>\n

They haven\u2019t printed a full liver (yet). At the rate at which things are going, it will happen (with FDA approval) in about 10 years. Read about it here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Chinese Student Receives First 3D Printed Thoracic Vertebrae Implant<\/h3>\n

December 13, 2014<\/p>\n

\"3d-vertebra-2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

At the Zhejiang University School of Medicine in Hangzhou, China, Wang Lin, a 21-year-old university student, was implanted with two 3D-printed vertebrae generated from a 3D computer models. The model were designed to fit perfectly into her spine by making them fit into a 3D model of her spine based on CT scan data.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/h3>\n

TMG cannot create the input files for a body part printer (yet!) but can certainly create the files needed for complex mechanical parts and other solid objects. Have a look at what we can do and message us from our page on modeling for 3D printers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Have a great day,<\/p>\n
