The surgeons used a Makerbot Replicator 2X to print out a 3 piece model of the heart and ultimately save Roland's life.
Brian, I saw your article on the front page of reddit on Saturday, first off congrats, and second off, this is an outstanding example of the exponential progress we are seeing in technology. I love reading about new ways people are being helps. Next we will see actual hearts being 3D printed or pieces of hearts which doctors can than implant into a human body.
