3D Print Heart Gives Us A New Direction Of Transplant_Olearn Tech.

The Swiss researcher print a soft heart by 3D print 

technology which is highly similar to the true one 

on shape、size and function. Though this man made he-

art is still on testing and can’t be applied in tr-

ansplant,it provides a new idea about solve related 

problems.

This human made heart is made from soft silica gel, 

with help of 3D printing and investment casting tec-

hnology. Weight 390g and 679 cubic CM.

The construct of this man made heart is a complex

 silica gel, include a ventriculus dexter and ventr-

iculus sinister and an extra room to separate two 

ventricles, this room plays like muscle to drive the 

blood in and out heart.

At present, the man-made blood pump can dive our bl-

ood,but the mechanical parts can blight us as well. 

The researcher said: “ they want to make a similar 

heart exact as ours. “  

This 3D print heart is on testing and due to the limi

-ted of raw material, this heart can only beat 3000 

times, in other word, it can continue working only 

30~45 minutes. We still need to find a much better 

material to solve the problem of tensile strength and 

functions, but this new direction is great.  

3D Print Grus Japonensis's Beak

A Grus japonensis broke his beak when fighting with 

another one, It made him really hard to eat food for

the past a few years. Yesterday, the zoo stuffs are 

planning to repair his wound with a 3D printing tita-

nium alloy beak.

During the operation, the veterinarian put a plastic

tube on this Grus japonensis’ beak and let him bre

athe anesthetic agents according to his weight. This 

new titanium alloy beak is custom made base on its 

body.

The first one is made from resin, but as we know,the 

Grus japonensis is ferocity, the veterinarian replace

with titanium alloy finally. As we know titanium alloy 

is hard and stable. 

This Grus japonensis back to the zoo and recover the same

day after operation and along with fishing function. 

Needless to say, the 3D printer technology plays a ma-

jor role, The mass production artificial limb can’t fit 

very well for different features of animal, but custom 

3D print is specify for unique body, really good work.
