3D Printed Ears, Joints and Noses May be Coming Soon!

Researchers have just discovered a method of 3D printing super tough and flexible hydrogels. This new method could lead to more sophisticated soft robotics, better drug delivery within the human body, and most incredibly 3D printed human cartilage. This cartilage would be much stronger and more resilient than normal human cartilage. It has the ability to be compressed 99 percent and then bound back to its original form.

Hello Eddie et. al,

Our company works with smart materials, primarily hyrdogels, shape memory alloys and piezoelectrics. We're interested in hearing more about this technology and potentially obtaining a sample. Do you have any additional literature and/or samples we can test to understand more about this exciting new technology and material!

Thanks,

Steve Hanly
