Herston Biofabrication Institute celebrates 3D printing day

3 December – International 3D Printing Day – celebrates the invention of the very first 3D printer and strives to create awareness and educate people in this growing, fascinating and fun industry.

Today, we asked a biomedical engineer what their dream 3D printer would be, a researcher to show us their latest print, and a surgeon about the most exciting developments in 3D printing for healthcare.

Christmas is almost here! If Santa leaves you a 3D printer under your Christmas tree this year, what would be the first thing you’d print? We want to know! Tweet and tag @MetroNorthHHS so we can see your great ideas.
