Researchers 3-D print lifelike artificial organ models

(University of Minnesota) A team of researchers led by the University of Minnesota has 3-D printed lifelike artificial organ models that mimic the exact anatomical structure, mechanical properties, and look and feel of real organs. These patient-specific organ models, which include integrated soft sensors, can be used for practice surgeries to improve surgical outcomes in thousands of patients worldwide.
