New project launched to develop 3D printed bone pieces for landmine blast survivors

Scientists from the University of Glasgow (Scotland, UK) will be developing bespoke and 'off-the-shelf' 3D-printed bones for survivors of landmine blasts in a new GBP£2.8 million project funded by Sir Bobby Charlton's charity Find A Better Way. In a new GBP£2.8 million project funded by Sir Bobby Charlton's charity Find A Better Way, scientists at the University of Glasgow hope to use 3D printers to produce bespoke bone pieces designed for survivors of landmine blasts, as well as 'off-the-shelf' blocks that can be cut and shaped by local surgeons as required. Every year, approximately 4300 people are injured or killed...
