The new heart improves on previous efforts to 3D-print models thanks to a flexible but robust alginate material that makes it more realistic. Alginate is derived from seaweed.

An engineer has created a 3D model of the human heart, inspired by his daughter’s heart condition, with the goal of creating a library of virtual hearts for researchers to use whenever they want.
