Clinicians Embrace 3D Printers to Solve Unique Clinical Challenges

Gary, that is the title of an article appearing in the 01/26/2016 JAMA issue, pages 333-335, received by my wife. I cannot provide a link to that JAMA issue/article. It would be helpful if someone here can provide such link.

Prosthetic hands,fingers,airway[tracheal] splints, skull and spinal implants, regenerative tissues of various types are among the uses mentioned. ONVO[liver tissue] is mentioned in 2 paragraphs of the 3-page article. Major hospitals are often equipped with at least some resources.
