3D Printing is revolutionizing the world of medicine and one hospital in particular is making it a vital part of the life-saving procedures it performs.
From allowing manned space missions to print equipment as and when needed, to simple household repair and the world of gaming, 3D printing has a marked positive effect on our lives. Yet, there is one clear aspect of the human experience in which 3D printing s impact is poised to be immeasurable medicine.
Researchers are already developing techniques to 3D print artificial limbs, implants and even organs for patients. Clearly, it won t be long before this manufacturing technique makes the jump from improving our lives to saving them.
