The bone replica is made of polylactic acid, a bio-based, low-cost biodegradable polymer commonly used in 3D printing. The design, which represents the midsection of the femur, is almost 8 inches ...

A group of North Texas doctors and scientists printed part of a human femur—the longest and strongest bone in the body—that mimics the strength, flexibility and overall mechanics of a real ...

The Centre for Translational Bone, Joint and Soft Tissue Research, in Dresden, is working on 3D-printed materials that support bone healing, with patients’ own materials that help bone cells grow.

The head of Imam Ali Hospital in Chabahar, southeastern Iran, announced the successful completion of the country’s first ...

Similar to temporary scaffolding that supports construction workers, these 3D-printed structures made of FDA-approved material will provide places for bone cells to cling and climb on, so they can ...

A team led by McGill University’s Dr Michael H Weber, and Professor Jake Barralet, are developing a new technology with a 3D printer which seeks to create replicas of bone for spinal grafts ...

Washington University researchers have pioneered a technique allowing them to use a 3D printer to create bone-like material that spurs actual bone growth. The material, created by the inkjet spray ...

The paper, “ In vitro evaluation of bone cell response to novel 3D-printable nanocomposite biomaterials for bone reconstruction, was published in the Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Part A.
