Now, a UK-based scientist is attempting to modernize that approach by 3D-printing a new bone grafting material inspired by coral found in the ocean. Swansea University researcher Zhidao Xia has ...

Researchers at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) have created 3D-printed scaffolds using polylactic acid and calcium phosphate that support bone growth and blood vessel formation.

Clinicians have successfully used custom-made 3D printed bone scaffolds, printed on-site at The University of Queensland, to rebuild part of a man's jawbone. Professor Saso Ivanovski from UQ's ...

Zurich and US-based startup Inkbit have figured out a way to 3D print the world’s first robotic hand with an internal structure composed of human-like bones, ligaments, and tendons. What makes ...

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 ...

The cranial bone in the human body performs very important ... by high-precision vat photopolymerization-based 3D printing. Both scaffolds had two outer layers and an inner layer with gyroid ...

Similar to temporary scaffolding that supports construction workers, these 3D-printed structures made of FDA-approved material will provide places for bone cells to cling and climb on, so they can ...

What was special here was that the bone was replaced with 3D-printed replicas, to restore the shape and function of the parts that were removed. A long time before this surgery, [Mr. Le Dinh Thuan ...

This usually entails separate 3D-printing processes for each component ... hand complete with artificial tendons, ligaments, and bones. [Related: Watch a robot hand only use its ‘skin ...
