New method of 3D bioprinting helps create organs rapidly

It looks like science fiction: A machine dips into a shallow vat of translucent yellow goo and pulls out what becomes a life-sized hand. 3D printing technologies have evolved at an unbelievable pace resulting in everything from 3D printed meat, to 3D printed houses to even 3D printed guns. A new method in high-speed 3D printing utilizes stereolithography and hydrogels–jelly-like materials that speed up the process, making 3D printed organs possible in the near future. Scientists from the University at Buffalo have developed a rapid new 3D bioprinting method that could represent a significant step towards fully-printed human organs. Many…
