3D printers are slowly, but surely working their way into all sorts of useful, everyday applications — like the creation of chocolates, flutes and even Mario Kart turtle shell racers. Now, Washington State University engineers are unveiling a unique implementation of the tech that could aid in the regrowth of damaged or diseased bones. Utilizing a ceramic compound, the group’s optimized ProMetal 3D printer builds dissolvable scaffolds coated with a plastic binding agent that serve as a blueprint for tissue growth. The team’s already logged four long years fine tuning the process, having already achieved positive results testing on rats and rabbits, but it appears there’s still a ways to go — about 10 -12 years, according to the project’s co-author Susmita Bose — before orthopedic and dental surgeons can begin offering “printed” bone replacements. With a synthetic windpipe already under medical science’s belt and now this, it’s looking like we’re just a few short decades away from that long sought after full body replacement. Right, Mr. Lagerfeld? Click on past the break for a brief look at this osteo-friendly machinery.

Washington, Oct 29, (PTI) : Saturday, October 29, 2011 –> Slamming Pakistan’s dubious role in Afghanistan, the US has said that Islamabad continues to tolerate and abet insurgency in the war-torn country, particularly the Haqqani terror network, with an aim to see a friendly government in Kabul with limited Indian influence. “Pakistan’s selective counter-insurgency operations, passive acceptance — and in some cases provision — of insurgent safe havens, and unwillingness to interdict material such as IED components, continue…
