3D printed twin organs for surgeons to practice

post-image
French startup Biomodex is producing 3D printed organs which closely match aspects of the human body that are unique to each individual ? tissue and bone densities and the placement of veins and arteries. These twin organs are helping surgeons practice and prepare for operations. As well as patient-specific organs, the printing process developed by Biomodex can be used for general medical education.
