    3D Printed Nose

    Check this thing out. A 3D Printed prosthetic nose that looks as close to a real nose as you can get. There is a team at Fripp Design and Research working on streamlining this process. This could do wonders for burn victims and other injured people. What do you think?

    It's printed with a starch powder using a Z Corp Z510 colour 3D printer. Here is another image and a video:

    Yeah, looks pretty good. Looks better than the 3d printed face prosthetic that some guy in the UK (I think) got, and that already was an enormous improvement.
    It's interesting to think that people could have several different noses, and use them for different purposes. Such as a 'cute' one for dates vs. an authoritative looking one for at the office
