Bioprinting Blood Vessels Engineers at Harvard are currently in the early stages of developing organ tissue that carries a blood supply. Although it is still in the infant stage, it is believed that they can learn how to create and print organs for the human body. 3-D printers already have the capacity to create complex organ models for educational and research purposes.

Prosthetics In the UK a start-up company called Open Bionics created a prosthetic hand that could perform all the functions of previous robotic prosthetics using sensors placed on the skin for a small fraction of the cost. There are also a number of companies printing 3d limbs and doing humanitarian work in Africa

Manufacturing Pharmaceuticals Lee Cronin, chemist from the University of Glasgow has been giving TED talks about his plan to revolutionize the pharmaceutical industry. 3d printers have the ability to create complex chemicals at the molecular level. Lee wants people to use their own 3d printers at home, buying chemical blue prints from pharmaceutical companies and to print their own medications in their own homes.

Artificial Disc Replacement Approximately 30 million Americans have back pain caused by degenerative discs, which costs the healthcare industry an estimated 90 Billion dollars annually. A method which involves using stem cells and collagen injections has been developed by researchers at Cornell to repair and ultimately replace intervertebral discs. Testing has been successful in rats but it still needs more testing before it is ready for testing in humans.
