Adaenelie Gonzalez had mere days left to live. The four-year-old girl had already undergone a pair of heart surgeries which taxed her strength, and doctors weren't sure they could do anything further to help.

Below is a photo (courtesy Miami Herald) of Dr. Redmond Burke with the 3D printed heart model. What do you guys think of the process being made within the 3D printing segment of the medical field? How much further will we come in the next 2-3 years?
