The femur bone belonged to an antelope that hunters targeted long ago with three deadly arrows. Researchers have had the bone since 1983, but they only recently decided to examine it more closely.

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 long ...

University of Texas at Dallas mechanical engineers have designed a 3D-printed femur that could help doctors prepare for surgeries to repair bones and develop treatments for bone tumors.
