"Check out the brand new super-clear, super strong 3D printing material T-Glase (pronounced “tee glass”) launched by Taulman3D, a print materials company best known for the nylon co-polymer filaments 618 and 645. It has been described as printing more like ABS or PLA than the nylon filaments, but introducing more of a nylon-like strength to the printed parts."

"The bioprinter has a built-in laser scanner that scans the wound and determines its depth and area. The scan is converted into three-dimensional digital images that enable the device to calculate how many layers of skin cells need to be printed on the wound to restore it to its original configuration. The system has successfully printed skin patches 10 cm square on a pig."
