WHAT IS 3D PRINTING?

http://www.flickr.com/photos/bdesham/2432400623/http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Lego_bricks.jpg

Printers can print in 2D ...

... or 3D.

Think of 3d printing as nano-Legos set by inkjet robots ...

... in different types of materials

Emerging materials in bio-printing: Bacteria? Riboflavin?

3D > 4D?

3d (plastic, metals, electronics, proteins, cells); Bioprinting & biofabrication; Hybrid printing

4d (self-assembling, ‘kinematics’), chains/modular, nanomanufacturing; smart materials

• “The first advantage is you get something in the exact shape of the defect you’re trying to replace,” Shakeshaff says. “More subtly, you have the ability to organize where the cells go within the scaffold,” which leads to better blood vessel formation and ultimately better bone formation. <http://www.forbes.com/sites/ptc/2013/10/31/the-next-big-thing-in-medicine-3d-printed-bones/>

• “Most incredibly, though, these adorable mini kidneys are able to function in exactly the same ways as their real, human-bred counterpart—they can break down toxins, metabolize, and secrete fluid.” <http://gizmodo.com/scientists-can-now-3d-print-transplantable-living-kidn-1120783047>

• ““This opens the door to a much wider range of biocompatible implant materials, which can be used to develop customized implant designs using 3-D printing technology” <http://news.ncsu.edu/releases/wms-narayan-riboflavin/>

• “Printing a whole heart or a whole bladder is glamorous and exciting,” he said. “But cartilage might be the low-hanging fruit to get 3-D printing into the clinic.” <http://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/20/science/next-out-of-the-printer-living-tissue.html?_r=0>
