West Point pre-med students are doing research that could lead to the 3D printing of “bio bandages†and small body parts.
So-called “bio printers†could print things such as bone cartilage and blood vessels the same way regular 3D printers print solid objects.
The research is still in the early phases but could have applications for soldiers wounded in battle.
