The First Full Size 3 D Print of a Human Heart Is Here

Imagine having the option to get a 3Dprinted organ. Well, a team of biomedical engineers from Carnegie Mellon University has just developed the first flexible, fullsize, 3Dprint of a human heart, bringing us one step closer to that reality.

But rigid plastic organs arent very practical. These printers could be used with softer materials, like biological hydrogels you know, to make a heart but those tend to collapse midprint. But this new method can change the 3Dprinting technique is called Freeform Reversible Embedding of Suspended Hydrogels or FRESH. It can print biological structures with soft squishy materials like alginate, a biomaterial made from seaweed, which feels like huma br, br,
