Over the past decade, 3D printing has gone from being a futuristic idea to a revolutionary tool. In medicine, its ability to produce custom-made, complex structures is changing the way doctors treat injuries and diseases – especially when it comes to rebuilding bones and other body tissues.

Additive manufacturing (as 3D printing is technically known) creates objects based on a digital model, building them layer by layer. In medicine, this technology is being used to make inert objects like implants and prosthetics, but it can also create living tissues that help the body repair itself.
