absolutely amazing.

Easily one of the more heartfelt uses of 3D printing technology, a little girl finally got to use her arms with the help of a printed exoskeleton.

Nice video. Thanks TS.

First the Photon Ted Talk thread, and now this? P&M bringing in the quality!!

I was speaking to an engineer with a 3d printing company a while back. I asked him about 3d printing of organic materials and biological tissue. He told me they were doing research on that a few years back but have since moved away from biological 3d printing applications because it simply wasn't as profitable as other applications.
