义肢与梦想美国弗吉尼亚州一名10岁女孩一直梦想能演奏小提琴,但她天生没有左手,而且左前臂严重萎缩。乔治·梅森大学的5名学生用3D打印机制造出的义肢,帮她圆了这个梦。鱼鳞片角膜梅西大学研究团队成功制造出一个3D打印机,用来印制专门为器官移植设计的角膜,以人体皮肤组成主要结构蛋白质之一的胶原蛋白来构建角膜,素材来源则选择已证实可被人体接受的福气鱼鳞片。团队目前正在研究如何将原型机商业化,让机器适于批量生产。 Prosthetics and Dreams A 10-year-old girl in Virginia, USA, had always dreamed of playing the violin, but she had no left hand, and her left forearm was severely atrophied. Five of George Mason’s prostheses made with 3D printers helped her round the dream. Fish scales cornea Massey University research team successfully created a 3D printer designed to print the cornea specifically designed for organ transplantation, the human skin composed of one of the major structural proteins of collagen to build the cornea, the source of the material has been chosen to confirm Blessed fish scales that are accepted by the human body. The team is currently working on how to commercialize the prototype and make the machine suitable for mass production.
