Researchers have developed 3D printed artificial heart valves designed to allow a patient’s own cells to form new tissue. To form these scaffolds using melt electrowriting – an advanced additive ...

Now, Georgia Tech researchers have created a 3D-printed heart valve made of bioresorbable materials and designed to fit an individual patient's unique anatomy. Once implanted, the valves will be ...

Vestas is the largest maker of wind turbines in the world. Some of the world's largest and most advanced manufacturers in oil, gas, electric, and wind are embracing 3D printing’s ability to deliver ...

Heart valve disease has no effective long-term treatment, and people who suffer from it have to endure repeated, invasive surgeries throughout their lives to survive. Researchers at Georgia Tech and ...

The hemodynamics in the aorta as well as the durability of aortic valve prostheses vary greatly between different types of devices. Although placement and sizing of surgical aortic valve prostheses ...

Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) and Emory University have developed a 3D-printed heart valve made of a bioresorbable polymer. Most heart valve implants currently are ...

Such tissues and organs could someday be manufactured with a 3D printer, with the right bio-ink such as that developed by Savoji and his colleagues. "My team has shown that an ink composed of ...
