A group of North Texas doctors and scientists printed part of a human femur — the longest and strongest bone in the body — that mimics the strength, flexibility and overall mechanics of a real femur.

Harnessing the Power of 3D Printing Technology Initially, Camci-Unal used gelatin-based hydrogels reinforced with eggshell microparticles to create the bone scaffolds for implanting. This time, she is ...

3D bioprinting is an advanced tissue engineering technique that builds complex tissues using bioactive substances like living cells and scaffolds. It provides personalized tissue repair solutions ...

She’s developing a unique ‘scaffold’ implant design adapted to children’s unique needs. Similar to temporary scaffolding that supports construction workers, these 3D-printed structures made of ...

The bone replica is made of polylactic acid, a bio-based, low-cost biodegradable polymer commonly used in 3D printing. The design, which represents the midsection of the femur, is almost 8 inches ...

Three-dimensional printing is transforming medical care, letting the health care field shift from mass-produced solutions to customized treatments tailored to each patient’s needs. For instance ...

This research focuses on developing and optimizing trauma plates made from PEKK and carbon fiber reinforced PEKK (CF-PEKK) using a 2-step process; fabrication through 3D printing followed by pressing, ...

Researchers have invented a new solvent-free polymer for digital light printing (DLP), a type of 3D printing that essentially pulls solid objects out of a shallow pool of resin one layer at a time.
