Wearing blue rubber gloves, Molly Dobrow reached into a metal vat of diluted sodium hydroxide and pulled out two dripping-wet models of human organs: a heart and a set of lungs. Made of Elastico, a ...

A laboratory has developed a new, significantly simpler way of cultivating a 3D model of the intestine that leads to increased complexity and organization. During the past ten years, scientists who ...

A team of University of Colorado researchers has developed a new strategy for transforming medical images, such as CT or MRI scans, into incredibly detailed 3D models on the computer. The advance ...

UVM Medical Center uses 3D printing to create low-cost medical training models for rural Vermont paramedics and EMTs. These models offer more frequent practice opportunities for crucial, but ...

Researchers from the University of Minnesota, with support from Medtronic, have developed a groundbreaking process for multi-material 3D printing of lifelike models of the heart's aortic valve and the ...

In a 3D printing first, scientists have figured out how to print artificial versions of the body's complex vascular networks, which mimic our natural passageways for blood, air, lymph, and other vital ...

Engineers at the University of Pittsburgh are working to develop 3D-printed organic tissue models that mimic the behavior of living organs. Online cover of Science Advances, April issue. A ...
