Materials Used For Restoring Organs of The Dead Body
Usually, 3D printers combine with layers of materials which include metal, plastic, ceramic and paper to make three dimensional objects that are based on a scanned image. They have used to create almost everything like guns, coffee cups, model cars and clocks. Presently, researchers are working to make it possible to create human tissue and organs.
Notably, 3D printing was used to restore the faces of firefighters who were killed in a massive explosion in the Tianjin [City in China] last year.
