Custom-Made Bones Are Being 3D Printed in a Lab Then Implanted in People - Singularity
Become partially android for a couple of years while your body heals itself.
It may sound far-fetched, but for patients needing reconstructive surgery, this could soon be the pitch from Danish startup Particle3D. The company is pioneering a novel method for 3D printing lightweight, customized bone implants that fuse with your skeleton before slowly disappearing.
The technology carries a lower risk of infection and the implants are tailored to your body (and the method could soon be heading to space with astronauts!).
