RE: TIL: A Visit at the Abu Dhabi Science Festival - Innovator Week : 3D Printing Explained.

in #steemstem7 years ago

3D Printing is a wonderful innovation. i could not wait that it would be used to create artificial organs for the patients who are suffering chronic diseases. i have also heard (correct me if I am wrong) that it has been used to make artificial legs for people who got their legs amputated or who were born with no legs.

Sort:  

I have not really delved deep into the topic and medical application was not somethibg that the exhibitor mentioned. But having seen what 3D printing is, I would say that is not impossible. I now also look forward to the day when the medical field will greatly benefit from this technology (if ever it hasn't).
