Since it was launched at the beginning of 2016, SyFy Channel’s Thingiverse page has grown to offer 42 3D printable models from its TV properties, including The Expanse, 12 Monkeys and the Killjoys. Not so many: this perfectly reflects that status of “consumer 3D printing” as still a seed with great potential. During the airing of 12 Monkeys Season 3 Event, viewers who owned a 3D printer were urged to download models (in particular the mask from the show’s villain, known as “The Witness” from the Channel’s Thingiverse account.
The new world of 3D bioprinted organs now includes implanted 3D bioprinted ovaries as bioprosthetic structures that, true to their design, actually ovulate, according to a study by Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine and McCormick School of Engineering. By removing a female mouse’s ovary and replacing it with a bioprosthetic ovary, the mouse was able to not only ovulate but also give birth to healthy pups. The moms were even able to nurse their young.
