3D Bio-printer
Pretty amazing. A ‘printer’ that prints 3D tissue structures using human cells.

We find ourselves at a pivotal moment in the history of humankind. Our body parts wear out as we age into our seventies and beyond. Now, as humankind enters a new millennium, the potential to substantially alter this scenario beckons. Tissue engineering, regenerative medicine and system biology may allow us to continuously replace tissues and organs. This talk discusses the potential of such tissue and organ replacement, summarizes current progress, addresses the industry needed to make this a reality and explores ethical issues such as living cosmetic enhancements that might be more ‘Star Wars’ than modern human.

Basically its a 3 Axis Coordinate Scanning Pick and Place system. One need a very high resolution XYZ axis servo/Stepper Table (compatible with tissue size resolution) and a tissue dropper pipit and a CAD CAM software interface with little vacuumed pick and place picker to produce a very basic structure. For more sophisticated systems like this video, a pattern monitoring video system based on image processing, temperature, humidity and some other layering medium may required.
Naive
this cannnot be reallll!!!!!!
