After checking with the National Museum of Ethiopia, where Lucy officially resides, the high-resolution 3D models of the bones scanned are available for free download to anyone who wants them.

Since publishing their study, the researchers have expanded their 3D-printing efforts to include different parts of the femur as well as other bones such as the humerus (the long bone of the upper ...

But the technology stumbles when integrating multiple materials into one printing process. 3D printing a robotic hand, for example, requires multiple printers—one to make the skeleton, another for ...

AIIMS Bhopal has taken a significant step forward in medical technology with the launch of its in-house 3D printing facility, a groundbreaking initiative in the field of Orthopaedics.

The eventual goal is to be able to 3D print bones directly into the cavity of a patient, for scenarios in which a certain portion of bone has been removed or destroyed.

Doctors shared the challenges of helping their young patients with osteosarcoma, a type of bone cancer, with Anamika Prasad. In the majority of cases, treatment requires a highly complicated surgery ...

3D printers may one day become a permanent fixture of the operating theatre after scientists showed they could print bone-like structures containing living cells.
