3D bioprinters to create artificial human organs being developed

3D bioprinters to create artificial human organs  being developedWashington: Researchers from US are working on 3D bioprinters to create replacement parts for damaged and failing human organs and tissue. 

A new interdisciplinary manufacturing venture called the Advanced Manufacturing Technology (AMTecH) group at the University of Iowa College of Engineering's Center for Computer Aided Design (CCAD) was formed to design, create, and test-both virtually and physically-a wide variety of electromechanical and biomedical components, systems and processes. 

Tim Marler, AMTecH co-director said that electromechanical systems are one of two current branches of the group. 

He said that they want to simulate, analyze and test printed circuit boards and assemblies, as they are used in a wide range of products from missiles to power plants to cell phones.
