3D Printed Human Organs

3D Bio-printed Organs

Andrew Hoang
Bio printed organs are a new thing of the future. Organs like the heart, kidney, and liver can now be artificially created. It has made organs that were once scarce, available to patients in need. Using MRI scans doctors can plan and develop a new kind of procedure with artificial organs. So far, these organs are created using the recipients own cells which eliminate the possibility for organ rejection when implanted. 
Printing using biological cells proved to be very difficult in the past because of their soft and delicate structure. These cells would often collapse in the early stages of organ printing. Today however, cells are printed inside of a special gel that helps keep its structure.  After the printing is finished, the gel is melted away by heating the organ to body temperature.

3D Printed Homes

Back in 2016, a team of architects in Chicago proposed an amazing design for a 3D printed house made of printed plastic, carbon-fiber panels, and glazed walls. The team won first prize in the Freeform Home Design Challenge and for a good reason. 

The design for the 3D printed dwelling is incredibly bold and, compared to other examples above, makes the most of the technology. Called Curve Appeal, the building is actually a thing of beauty. 

The plan was to 3D print the building in Chattanooga in Tennessee. It is planned to be completed in 2020.

3D Printing Metal

"Metal 3D printing becomes more and more essential for manufacturing since it allows to produce fully functioning parts with high mechanical properties and also geometries that would be impossible to produce with traditional manufacturing techniques. According to our annual report, The State of 3D Printing, metal ranks the third of the most used additive manufacturing materials. That is why today you will discover more about what are the key trends in metal 3D printing."

Sonova Leads The Future Of Mass Customized Manufacturing

"Sonova Leads The Future Of Mass Customized Manufacturing

"Since the inception of 3D printing in the early 1980s, mass production has been viewed as the technology’s holy grail. But for more than a decade, while other companies have teased the possibility of full-production 3D printing of sneakers, eyeglasses, toys and other objects, Switzerland-based Sonova, the world’s leading hearing care solutions provider, has quietly been doing it. Today, the company runs several of the world’s largest and most sophisticated 3D printing factories. "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cszsbCGjANo
