Innovative 3D Printing Technology Using Ultrasound Waves
Engineers from Duke University and Harvard Medical School have developed a groundbreaking ink for 3D printing that solidifies when exposed to ultrasound waves. This biocompatible ink can be injected into the body, allowing doctors to 3D print needed structures internally. The researchers successfully used the ink to treat heart conditions and repair bone damage. This ultrasound-based 3D printing technology offers less invasive treatment options and precise solutions for various medical applications.
