A group of North Texas doctors and scientists printed part of a human femur—the longest and strongest bone in the body—that ...

Xia and his fellow researchers tested the 3D-printed grafts on mice in laboratory experiments. The experiment showed the grafting material helped repair one’s defect within 3-6 months.

Rethinking 3D printing for robots In a VCJ system, along with a 3D printer , there is a 3D laser scanner that visually inspects each layer for surface irregularities as it’s deposited.

A research team from the University of Waterloo has developed a new material that shares many of the same traits as bone tissue. Using it in 3D printers provides a new and innovative treatment ...

3D printing technology has come a long way in the past few years—and one of its most promising applications is in medicine. Not only have we seen it be used to create artificial bones and ...

She’s developing a unique ‘scaffold’ implant design adapted to children’s unique needs. Similar to temporary scaffolding that supports construction workers, these 3D-printed structures made of ...

Despite the long-established prevalence of 3D printing in orthopedic oncology, ... Surgeons push barriers with 3D printing for bone tumors. Issue: August 2023. ByHunter Firment.

3D-printed egg shells can help bones regrow. Crushed chicken egg shells have been turned into a structure that supports bone growth in the laboratory. By Alex Wilkins.

Harnessing the Power of 3D Printing Technology Initially, Camci-Unal used gelatin-based hydrogels reinforced with eggshell microparticles to create the bone scaffolds for implanting. This time, she is ...

Scientists 3D-print human femur with real bone strength, offering low-cost solutions for surgery, research, and future bone ...

The 3D-printed bone is made with a low-cost biodegradable polymer called polylactic acid. In total, the bone costs about $7 to make, which is much cheaper than making other synthetic bones or ...
