Transplant jaw made by 3D printer
Wayne Brooker at Monday 6th February filed under Competitions
"A 3D printer-created
lower jaw has been fitted to an 83-year-old woman's face in what doctors
say is the first operation of its kind.
The transplant was carried out in June in the Netherlands, but is only now being publicised.
The implant was made out of titanium powder - heated and fused together by a laser, one layer at a time."
