3D printing technology has been applied across a wide range of applications in healthcare, providing customised anatomical models and surgical tools that facilitate training and planning of complex surgeries, as well as increasingly sophisticated customised implants and prosthetics that offer better fit and functionality for patients.

The Department of Food Science at the University of Copenhagen is taking part in a new research collaboration that aims to use 3D printing technology to tailor meals for individual hospital patients without the need for additional resources in the hospital kitchen.

3dbiosurfaces and STRATEC Consumables GmbH, a wholly owned subsidiary of STRATEC, announced today the release of the first commercially available microarray substrate based on 3dbiosurfaces patented and patent-pending technologies.

3D bioprinting, or the 3D printing of implantable, living tissue, can certainly be considered the Holy Grail of 3D printing. Various ongoing research projects throughout the

A chemical compound developed by University of British Columbia researchers makes it possible to create biological tissue with a light projector you can buy at Walmart. The compound, a new type of biological ink used in the 3D printing of tissue, eliminates the need to use UV light systems in favour of safer, more conventional light.

BioBots is a company launched by Daniel Cabrera, a recent graduate of University of Pennsylvania’s Engineering School, as well as Ricardo Solorzano and Sohaib Hashmi, who are staff research specialists in the Perelman School of Medicine (UPenn). The three got together to create a 3D bioprinter capable of printing in multiple body tissues. While this certainly isn’t the first ever bioprinter created, Cabrera tells us that it is not the same as others on the market today.

Bioprinting is changing how we do biology.

Yet another huge milestone in bioprinting research for our most versatile bioprinting development system has been reached with the study of the scaffold for a tympanic membrane. This is an exciting step toward the bioprinting of complex implantable cartilage structures, a process that is already close to practical applications.

Plastic surgeons at the Welsh centre for Burns and Plastic Surgery in Morriston Hospital are working with engineers and scientists to develop 3-D printed tissue - made from human cells – for the first time.

A combination of detailed CT imaging and 3-D printing technology has been used for the first time in the surgical planning for separation of conjoined twins, according to a study presented today at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).
