A long time ago i posted something about 3D Printer. But the world does not stop at just that. Now, with time, 3D printing is advancing towards medical and food industry.
Watch the video of the printer.
The success story of printing body parts:
Organovo, a company pioneering in bioprinting technology has successfully created the first commercial organ printer in the world. The printer, called NovoGen MMX Bioprinter, is now capable of producing arteries which is commonly used by surgeons to do bypass surgery. By using the patient's own cell, the threat of rejection by organ transplant is greatly reduced. The company hopes that the machine will be able to print more complex organ such as heart and liver in the next 10 years. With capabilities to save thousands of lives that need organ transplants, NovoGen can be considered as the latest breakthrough in the world of medicine.

Chocolate Printing:
Engineering and Physical Science Research Council (EPSRC) is now researching the 3D printer so that it can print custom design chocolate. This printer will allow user to design his/her own chocolate and bring it to reality. The challenge in creating this printer is to melt and temper the chocolate at the right temperature but it is one challenge that can be overcome. With the 3D printing technology becoming more and more commercially available, this research can help in revolutionizing the business of manufacturing process worldwide.
