Enhatch is ushering in an era where death is optional.
Efforts to 3D print human body parts have been incredibly successful in recent years, with news of printing vascularized hearts, microscale printing for kidney transplants and partial liver transplants all showing significant promise. However, for this new technology to take flight on a commercial scale, these replacement parts will need to precisely match the patient’s anatomy and biology. Advanced algorithms will drive the design of the ideal replacement using radiologic data, serology, urinalysis and diag...
