3D printing technology helps people 'immortal'

Scientists can create biologically compatible devices with humans to manipulate the legs and hands.

Research by Tel Aviv University scientists in Israel, using small 3D print technology, creates a biopsy-compatible device for humans and transplants into the body.

These devices are small microelectronic systems not larger than one millimeter in size and can support normal human activities as a real part.

Traditionally, these systems are made of silicon, metal or ceramic. Dr Leeya Engel and Jenny Shklovsky from Tel Aviv University recently discovered a new polymer material from the company in France for 3D printing. Since then, scientists have created prosthetic devices in completely new directions.

Experts say the new technology could change everything, with the creation of prosthetics more efficient, safer and more comfortable than traditional materials.

The prosthetics are composed of multiple actuators and integrated sensors. Prosthetics created from the new technology can perform multiple tasks simultaneously, such as the technology built into smartphones and tablets.

According to Dr. Engel, the use of new soft materials to make human-assisted devices can overcome the limitations of technology and this is like installing Lego for adults.

The research is considered to be an important event in the high tech industry and a huge step in the field of cybernetics. In the future, the new technology will be expanded to carry forward the task of human immortality.
