3D printing does far more than just churn out interesting bits and pieces that you require, perhaps even to print substitute LEGO bricks that you can call your own? Thing is, those with a more altruistic vision will see that 3D printing has its place in the medical world. Cornell bioengineers and physicians have worked together to merge the implementation of 3D printing and injectable gel molds, creating an artificial ear which actually looks, feels and even functions, like a natural one.

Thing is, it will take around half a decade before such methods will end up in a widespread manner in clinical trials.
