Researchers got a step closer to 3D printed organs and human tissue – Future Blink
Published March 11, 2021
Dot Med, Mashable, and SlashGear report on research led by Chi Zhou and Ruogang Zhao on a new 3D printing method that’s 10-50 times faster than the industry standard.
Researchers say the method is progress toward 3D-printed human tissue and organs, which could eventually save countless lives lost due to the shortage of donor organs. The “technology is based on stereolithography printing which deposits material through photo crosslinking of the resins in an entire 2D plane. So it is inherently faster than extrusion and inkjet-based methods,” said co-lead author Zhao, associate professor of biomedical engineering.
