Research abstract
The DOD and commercial markets have a distinct need for low cost anatomically accurate, complex synthetic human tissue in order to improve training and improve surgical precision. In this project a novel multiple material print-head is developed using a 3D printer capable of depositing a wide range of materials such that bone, skin, blood vessels, adipose tissue, and muscle material properties are tightly matched with live human tissue.
