New 3D Printed Organ Models Don’t Just Look Like Real Organs, They Feel and React Like Them Too
“This is not to say that 3D printed organ models aren’t extremely useful, but…could they be made to be more useful? They sure can, says a team of researchers led by the University of Minnesota. The researchers have 3D printed organ models that not only look like actual organs, they feel like them and have the same mechanical properties. They even have soft sensors that provide feedback to let surgeons know how much pressure they can apply without tissue damage, for example…”
