Engineers 3D print soft, rubbery brain implants
The brain is one of our most vulnerable organs, as soft as the softest tofu. Brain implants, on the other hand, are typically made from metal and other rigid materials that over time can cause inflammation and the buildup of scar tissue. . MIT engineers are working...
A 3D-Printable Material That Mimics Biological Tissues
Biological tissues have evolved over millennia to be perfectly optimized for their specific functions. Take cartilage as an example. It's a compliant, elastic tissue that's soft enough to cushion joints, but strong enough to resist compression and withstand the...
4D Printing May Lead to Biomedical Implants that Reconfigure Themselves upon Demand
Soft robots and biomedical implants that reconfigure themselves upon demand are closer to reality with a new way to print shapeshifting materials, according to scientists. . Now, Rafael Verduzco, PhD, and graduate student Morgan Barnes of Rice’s Brown School of...
3D-printed ‘cartilage’ could be used for spinal implants
A new liquid crystal material 3D-printed into complex structures can mimic cartilage and other biological tissue, leading the way towards printed spinal discs and other biomedical implants. . Mechanical engineer Professor Chris Yakacki at the University of Colorado...
Scientists grow a human ear with new, skin-crawling 3D printing method
“Complications after surgery" is a vague and scary term that refers to secondary conditions, like infection, that develop post-surgery. Studies have shown that these complications affect upwards of 50 million patients worldwide and are more likely to appear in...
The Role of Occupational Therapists in 3D Printing & DIY Assistive Technology
Researchers from Belgium and The Netherlands offer the details of their recent study ‘ Makers in Healthcare: The Role of Occupational Therapists in the Design of DIY Assistive Technology ,’ exploring the benefits of 3D printing in clinical practice. . Assistive...
Human-like ears 3D printed inside mice as surgery-free spare parts
Replacement ears could be 3D printed beneath the skin SEBASTIAN KAULITZKI/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY/GETTY IMAGES Human-like ears have been grown on the backs of mice using 3D printing. The technique could potentially be used to construct new ears or other body parts in...
Lung Cancer Treatment: 3D Printing Molds for Personalized Airway Stents
