Before we move ahead, there are a few things to know about 3D printing. It is a method of fabrication of three dimensional objects from a digital file or a Computer Aided Design (CAD) file using a material printer. An object is created into a real world o
Remember those countless shots in Hollywood’s most famous sci-fi flicks when the cyborg from the future is shot and the skin just patches right back up as if they were not even scratched? Well, the technology used for that might not yet be on offer, but
