3D Printed Medical Model Breakthrough May Make Modeling Incredibly Easy

3D printing is making its way gradually into the medical setting. It is being used extensively by some surgeons in the creation of tangible medical models. Usually a CT scan, MRI, or ultrasound is required in order to generate these 3D printed models. However, these machines are very expensive to use, and only accessible to some. One company, however, is working on creating a sub-$1,000 ultrasound device which can connect to a smartphone and display in real time. Could this one day soon lead to the easy creation of 3D printed medical models? It very well may. Read and see more on this at: http://3dprint.com/22988/3d-printing-medical-models/
