Do you know that you can print a 3D model using a printer? You can do that by using 3D printers.3D printing is catching up to its full potential.
The scientists are using the bioprinters to print 3d human body parts. The bioprinters use human cells and tissues instead of ink. The scientists are further planning to use these body parts in the implantation process.
The printing can be done by use of single button and this model cost less than the natural body parts.
The 3d printed human body parts created so far with the 3d printer are liver cells, cardiac tissues, stem cells which can in turn create other 3D human body parts.
These 3D printed body parts were able to function for 40 days as a normal body part would work.
Scientists are planning to create every single body part starting from ear to building an entire heart.
Wake Forest University's Institute for Regenerative medicine was able to successfully grow bladder, blood vessels, and various other anatomical body parts.
The body parts were tested against various drugs, medicines, and passed the tests.
For creating the 3D body parts the scientists need two main things. First of all, they should be able to make the 3D model by themself. Secondly, they have to make the computer program for the printer.
These 3D printed human organs will eliminate organ donors, which will save a lot of time and money.
In the future maybe they will be able to create a whole human body that can be used in the place of mannequins.
Apart from this application, 3D printing technology is being used in various fields such as apparel, industrial art, jewelry, firearms, computers, robots, and many more.
If you have a 3D printer what should it print for you? Comment below.
