2017 article on 3d printed bone...

Working with two engineering students in Welfare Technology, Professor Morten Østergaard Andersen has developed the artificial bone material which the 3D printer uses to build the bones. The results from the mouse experiments show that the mouse’s own skull accepts the artificial bone and then eats into the artificial bone, which disappears in time. To help the process along, the researchers graft stem cells onto the bone.

Ceramic bone-like materials, generally hydroxyapatite (HAP or HA) for durability or tricalcium phosphate (TCP) for osteointegration can be 3D printed using stereolithographic 3D printing processes such as those proposed by Lithoz, 3DCeram and Prodways or through precision deposition (micro-dispensing) using systems such as the EnvisionTEC 3D bioplotter or nScrypt’s micro-dispensers.
