Canadian researchers at the University of Laval (Quebec) and McGill University and three German researchers have developed a system using computers and 3D printers to create biological porcelain shakes. For bone transplant or reconstruction.

Normal 3D printers are used to create 3D prototypes made of polymer resin. After replacing polymer resins with bio-based materials, researchers used this 3D printer in conjunction with a computer to order a bone image created from magnetic resonance imaging or from a software.

The porous structure of the implant is retained by the process at low temperatures, which facilitates the movement of the capillaries and helps the implant to gradually replace the biological material and return to the bone tissue. real

However, Professor Doillon asserted that it took about 10 years to complete the system and apply the implant to humans.
