3D printing helps Polish researchers create fully functional artificial heart
http://www.3ders.org/articles/20160...cial-heart.html 3D printing helps Polish cybernetics researchers create fully functional artificial heart quote: Many areas of medical research have benefitted from 3D printing, but research concerning the human heart remains a particularly important and enduring project. 3D printed heart models help to save lives on a daily basis, and research is taking place across the globe that could someday produce a functional, 3D printed artificial heart which could be implanted in a human body.

So 3d printing can create things with working parts?

That'd pretty damn cool. I wonder how it's done. I haven't researched it at all. I recently read an article about a guy who got hand transplants and they don't work. Sad stuff

They haven't yet created a fully functioning artificial heart.

There are 3d printed firearms interestingly enough. Can't imagine too many limits as to what can be done so long as it isn't overly intricate in terms of the moving parts themselves, though no doubt the level of detail and precision the printers are capable of will continue to increase.

quote: The researchers are using the 3D printed heart models to verify scientific hypotheses and to perform experimental research which could help increase the safety of future artificial hearts. By 3D printing the heart models, the research team has been able to save a significant amount of money and perform a broader range of research than would have been possible with commercially available models.

There's been some very cool stuff in this regard. 3d printed vehicles and housing are the most interesting ones I'd come across lately until this.
