Re: [DIYbio] 3D printing medical devices

@michael: just a heads up, in google groups you can fork a conversation by editing the subject. So rather than clutter the wiki cleaning discussion which is still over here with talk of 3D printing Medical Devices, we now have two conversations.

Anywho, back to 3D printing. Yes, the articles I posted are academic but that's really just a word. Maybe 7 years ago when the work was first done it would have been outside the scope(read: price range) of DIYbio but not today. Even more so yesterday, thanks to FormLabs. You can do a lot of cool 3D phase change stuff with Laser Sintering or Stereolithographic printing.


Also, apologies about the pay walled links, I assumed "Full Text Available" meant available, not available if you pay $24.99, stupid springer. Do "not" email me offlist if you want a copy.

Yes, but is making bone replacements that have no biological
components within scope for DIYbio? It might be biomimesis, and
potentially DIY. But where's the actual biology?  That's the question
here.
