Japanese researchers have built a 3D printer that prints calcium phosphate, a component in human bones. These artificial bones can fuse to existing bones, and speed healing from broken bones or bone removal as part of cancer treatments. These printers have not yet been declared medically safe, but they are an exciting development in medical 3D printing.
