3d printing technology has had an extraordinary impact on medicine. Printing a liver, lung or heart at the push of a button may seem a bit far fetched, but with advances in 3d printing technology this may soon become a reality. 3d bio printers work differently than normal 3d printers. Bio printers use a bio-ink made of living cells to create human tissue.
Manufacturing working organs may be more than a decade away, but scientists have found other ways to create beneficial technology. One example of this technology is a printer that prints cells on the surface of a wound to cause the injury to heal more quickly. In the near future 3d printing could save thousands upon thousands of lives.
