Do you know what to expect from “The Medicine of Tomorrow”?

What if a computer would be able to design tailored devices to a patient anatomy in transplant need? This is what 3D printing manufacturers are investing on. Never heard of or slightly informed by this new technology that the Tech World is writing about? Let’s introduce this advance. 3-D printing is a process that creates a three-dimensional object, under a computer control, by building sequential new layers of raw materials. These layers are attached until an object is complete. Not only this technology can assemble in a time record any type of device, but it allows to generate extremely complex configurations and shapes. This advanced technology is currently operating in 31 medical procedures (e.g. Neurosurgery; Cardio; Oncology; Transplant surgery). Bioprinting tissues and organoids. Bioprinting is the three-dimensional printing of biological tissue and organs through the layering of living cells. Two main focuses can be examined.   The fir...
