Still Waters Posted October 6, 2014 #1 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Children with deformities will soon be given 3D printed ears after scientists developed a ground-breaking technique to correct birth defects. Professor Alex Selfalian and his team at University College London have discovered that the structure of the ear can be printed using a biological 'ink' which builds the shape of the organ. http://www.telegraph...inted-ears.html 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevewinn Posted October 8, 2014 #2 Share Posted October 8, 2014 (edited) It shows you how good the technology can be, and the prospects for deformities and other related treatments is well, whatever you can print. I got a 3D printed model of myself. at my local ASDA, they had a 3D scanning device, and just for a laugh we got a model of ourselves. had to wait six seeks for it to arrive by post but great it is, detail is brilliant including the colour of my clothes. (it was a trial) so we got the model for £35 each. the eventual price we were told will be around £60. Im thinking of making a terracotta style army of myself. Photo is sample picture from ASDA.
