In a new laboratory at the Vienna University of Technology (TU) in Austria, scientists and private companies intend to work together to investigate how bones could be produced using 3D printers. The goal is to create customized bone implants that can be used, for example, for treatment after accidents.

Robotic hands with bones, ligaments and tendons straight from the printer: this is made possible by a new 3D printing technology developed by researchers in Zurich.
