The Future of 3-D Printing and Human Organ Systems

For numerous years, the use of 3D printing has been closely related to the field of medicine, more specifically the body parts of the body. The article further talks about the present creation of body parts such as urine tubes, blood vessels, and skin tissues. 

With the time to wait for organ transplant increasing for many people all over the world, the use of 3D printing is being called to create even more complex body parts, mainly organs in order to restore function to various organs systems. "The mechanical process isn't all that complicated. The tricky part is the materials, which are biological in nature," said Mike Titsch, editor-in-chief of 3D Printer World, which covers the industry. "It isn't like 3-D printing plastic or metal. Plastic doesn't die if you leave it sitting on an open-air shelf at room temperature for too long."
