    Chinese are 3D Printing Rabbit and Goat Bones

    Researchers in China have been 3D printing rabbit and goat bones for implantation into animals. These bones are printed out of bone powder and a biological glue. The aim is to have 3d printed bones availalbe for real use in patients within 5-6 years. This could potentially make for some interesting medical breakthroughs, not having to rely on titanium implants any longer.

    Are you sure about this ? Who -ever- implanted titanium bones in rabbits and goats ???

    I'm sure it's a plan to develop fake bones for reconstitued meat ;-)

    I'm kidding. But seriously, what is the expected use for that ?
