Body Parts That Can Be Made With A 3-D Printer

Bones

While the bones in your body are incredibly durable, accidents do happen causing them to break. The types of breaks a bone can suffer vary from case to case, but often times they are quite difficult for doctors to repair. The road to recovery can be a long one as different techniques are applied throughout the patient’s healing time, thus delaying the entire process.

Doctors are now given the capability of producing exact models of these fractures, allowing for time to study them and discover the best solutions as to how the bone can be reconstructed. They can also use the models to try and find new and more efficient methods to repair these complex breaks, rather than remain dependent on more traditional techniques.
