The first drug to allow three-dimensional printing

Administration of Food and Drug approved the first drug produced a three-dimensional printing technology, paving the way for the possibility of modifying the production of drugs by the patient's request.

This technique is a form of what is known as "manufacturing technology as well", where the three-dimensional body composition status successive thin layers of a material on top of each other, allowing the ability to print complex installation overlapping parts.

In the area of ​​health care, the researchers used the three-dimensional printing technology is already in the medical field, for the synthesis of a number of parts of the body, for example the teeth and jaw bones, hip and other audio devices.

British scientists have developed a new use tri-dimensional printing for the production of the origin of the infected parts of cancer in the body dish models, allowing doctors to target tumors more accurately.
