Ultimaker & London Surgeon 3D Printing Bones

Dutch 3D printer manufacturer Ultimaker and a surgeon from London named Dr. Boyd Goldie are making the case for using desktop 3D printers in medical settings. While the resolution of an average desktop printer is probably not high enough to reproduce complex internal anatomy or organs, it is well suited to 3D printing things like human bones. Goldie is able to quickly turn CT scans into 3D model using free open source software and use his Ultimaker 2+ to have them printed out in a matter of hours. Ultimaker is anticipating desktop 3D printing could be a popular use for their 3D printers and plans to produce a print guide for the process that Goldie uses.
