An odor machine, so-called olfactometer, makes it possible to smell in VR environments. First up is a “wine tasting game” where the user smells wine in a virtual wine cellar and gets points if the guess on aromas in each wine is correct. The new technology that can be printed on 3D printers has been Read more about VR wine tasting[…]
In the TV series Westworld, human body parts are built on robotic frames using 3D printers. While still far from this scenario, 3D printers are being increasingly used in medicine. For example, 3D printing can be used to produce parts of the body such as orthopedic joints and prosthetics, as well as portions of bone, Read more about Researchers take a step closer to 3D printing living tissues in patients[…]
Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have developed a low-cost 3-D bioprinter by modifying a standard desktop 3-D printer, and they have released the breakthrough designs as open source so that anyone can build their own system. The researchers—Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) and Biomedical Engineering (BME) Associate Professor Adam Feinberg, BME postdoctoral fellow TJ Hinton, and Kira Pusch, Read more about Printing your own bioprinter[…]
Temple-based biotech startup SiMMo3D today announces the launch of its simulated, 3D-printed organ models for surgical planning, biomedical research and education that help to meet the growing need for effective training tools in the medical and educational community. With a $20,000 grant in seed funding provided by city-supported incubator Temple Health and Bioscience District (THBD), Read more about Affordable 3D-printed Organ Models for Medical Training[…]
