A research assistant with University of British Columbia (UBC) Okanagan's School of Engineering is modeling and creating 3D printable artificial bone grafts, and studying the future potential of the grafts in terms of artificial bone replacements. This new design for artificial bones can be customized and 3D printed, which means that the replacements will be safer, stronger, and more effective. This customization means that surgeons won't have to transplant existing bone fragments, as the 3D printed bone grafts could be made to fit any patient.
