Too Long; Didn't Read

3D printing is a revolutionary technology that turns computerized schematics into intricately formed material objects, often with working parts. The ability to print larger structures like organs is coming down the pike, but is currently limited mainly by biological constraints. The technology is capable of generating smaller-sized blood vessels, cardiac patches, soft tissue, skin tissue and micro-organs that can help supplement damaged organs. A new industry is forming, one that will eventually reshape the way we shape our health.
