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.

In what the company calls the "3D Cave," the images of the heart are projected on three walls. The user is able to walk-through the 3D experience. "You can do things you can't do with a real heart ...

Life-size model heart 3D-printed out of ... so that when they get into the operating site they've got an additional layer of realistic practice ... human-powered transportation, and the marine ...

Engineers can now print three-dimensional replicas of a human heart custom-designed to look and act like an individual patient’s heart. The goal is to provide realistic models so that doctors ...

Though smaller in size, the 3D-printed organ features the same cellular structure as a full-sized human heart. The company sees this first example as a roadmap toward bioprinting a full-size human ...

3D virtual simulations assist in human heart implants, brain research. Physical design tests for such products can take 3-4 years. But virtual simulation models reduce the time to find the right ...
