The first biohybrid model of human ventricles has ... much quicker than 3D printing methods that perform slower as features get smaller. This is essential when building a heart because, for instance, ...

Now, Georgia Tech researchers have created a 3D-printed heart valve ... are currently testing the heart valve's physical durability with both computational models and benchtop studies.

Each model in the cabinet is an exact replica of a patient’s heart, crafted from detailed CT and MRI scans. These state-of-the-art 3D-printed hearts provide surgeons with a tool to plan complex ...
