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 tendons, but ...

Our bodies are constantly breaking down. Over time, their built-in repair mechanisms also fail. Knee cartilage grinds away. Hip joints no longer support weight. Treatments for breast cancer and other ...

Engineers from UNSW Sydney have developed a miniature and flexible soft robotic arm that could be used to 3D-print biomaterial directly onto organs inside a person's body. 3D-bioprinting is a process ...

In order to keep surgeries minimally invasive, it would be great if implants could be injected into the body in liquid form, then solidified once in place. Well, a new ultrasound-based 3D printing ...

The technology to utilize 3D printing technology to create replacement body parts for transplanting has been around for at least half a decade, complete with an aim to provide people with ...

Imagine getting surgery without ever being cut open. Researchers at Duke University and Harvard Medical School have successfully demonstrated a proof of concept in new research published Thursday in ...

Nature has spent millions of years optimizing the connection between bone and tendon. Over a very short distance, the body ...

In a move to reduce the risk of infection, a team of engineers has designed a new method of 3D printing biomaterial. The researchers from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Sydney, Australia, ...

Using a new 3D printing technology, University of Nottingham researchers have discovered how to tailor-make artificial body parts and other medical devices with built-in functionality. The result is ...
