Scientists are in a ways to search out the new ways through which they can have the 3D print body parts. Feinstein institute of Medical research has developed a 3d printing technique, that helps to create a cartilage for repairing better tracheas. For this, they use an off the shelf 3D printer, whch was designed to create a scaffold for the cartilage out of the same PLA filament you had use for everyday 3D printing projects. After that, they cover the scaffold in the mix of collagen and chondrocytes, and baking it in custom bioreactor to ensure that cells grow properly.3D Printed Cartilage

This is the best approach by the scientists right now to help the airways in humans. The new approach is just the proof of the concept that, and there are expectations for the scientists that, it could take more than five years, and before this, there could be the some ways, which could help the procedures of betterment.

Scientists believe on its success, it it gets successful, then it could work a lot to fix the traeches, and along with this, will help in fixing the other body parts. Using the cheap hardware can be the best option to get the replacements within hours, instead of depending upon expensive biological methods and slow traditional reconstruction methods within few hours.
