The researchers report on their progress in the journal Nature Communications.. This new bone model is based on a porous matrix, or structure, made of a synthetic polymer. In this matrix, made of ...

The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology has developed an AI medical imaging tool that is able to show a patient’s ...

Despite the high demand for bone models, traditional model options have serious shortcomings. The medical industry has traditionally used human bone from cadavers, or legacy 3D printing solutions ...

For a taste of what’s on offer, why not check out the bizarre oVert 3D model of the Brazilian electric ray, or take a look at the eerily elegant bone structure of the cave angelfish.

In 3D printing (Opens in a new window), projects often make use of various "infills" to make the structure stronger. In bones, ... the team created a 3D printed model of trabeculae (below).

Orthopaedic surgeons can now get their hands on the bones of patients before they reach the operating table ­– with the help of 3D printing. Using scans of actual patient anatomy, the surgeons are ...

The benefit of 3D-printed bones doesn’t stop there. In scientific studies assessing how different forces stress and contort bone, these skeletal replicas offer scientists and physicians an ...

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 ...
