Researchers print bone-like material with 3D printer

Researchers print bone-like material with 3D printer

With the advancement of our technology, 3D printers have been making great strides in replicating various objects, going beyond creating mere models to parts that can actually be used in real world applications. Now it appears that researchers have managed to use a 3D printer to create a bone-like structure that can be used as scaffolds to stimulate the growth of replacement bone tissue. This is achieved by optimizing a ProMetal 3D printer that is not only commercially available, but was originally designed to create metal objects.
