3D-printed, lifelike heart models could help train tomorrow’s surgeons - Headline Science

Realistic models of human organs could help surgeons train and practice before they cut into a patient, leading to more successful surgeries. However, it’s been challenging to make 3D printed models that look and feel just like real organs. Now, researchers reporting in ACS Biomaterials Science & Engineering have found a way to 3D print a full-size, realistic model of a patient’s own heart. ACS’ Headline Science shows how they did it.
