Wearing blue rubber gloves, Molly Dobrow reached into a metal vat of diluted sodium hydroxide and pulled out two dripping-wet models of human organs: a heart and a set of lungs. Made of Elastico, a ...

An international team of researchers has used 3D-printing technology to produce individually-tailored model organs. These dummy organs could one day improve your chances of surviving surgery, by ...

Currently, most 3D printed organ models are made using hard plastics or rubbers. (Reuters) Scientists have successfully 3D printed lifelike artificial organ models that mimic the structure, properties ...

A team of University of Colorado researchers has developed a new strategy for transforming medical images, such as CT or MRI scans, into incredibly detailed 3D models on the computer. The advance ...

In order to reduce the number of donor organs and to help doctors train complicated procedures, medical technicians produce organs using 3D printing. In order to be able to use the organs produced in ...

PALO ALTO, Calif. -- 3D printing is not just being used for making souvenirs, car parts and smartphones. It's being used more and more in hospitals and medical schools. "It's extraordinary. It truly ...

A computational model that could rapidly design a blood vessel network for any 3D-printed organ may take us a step closer to transplanting artificial livers, kidneys or hearts without the need for a ...

It’s time for some good news in healthcare. While COVID-19 has crowded the headlines with doom and gloom, a team of surgeons in Ireland has been quietly revolutionizing how hospitals handle organ ...

Medical science is a key step closer to the cryopreservation of brain slices used in neurological research, pancreatic cells for the treatment of diabetes and even whole organs thanks to a new ...

The notion of 3D printing human organs has been around for a while now. Just last year, after seeing one of my previous articles on additive manufacturing (AM), one of my astute readers asked me when ...
