It can print a nose within 30 minutes and it can cost you anywhere between $10,000 and $39,000.

It's equipped with dual, high powered fans producing powerful airflow. It's equipped with a lot of cool specs, from it's built in self sterilizer to it's touch display. No need to take the latex off, just proceed with the scientific work.

Erik Gatenholm is the chief executive and co-founder of a small Swedish company called Cellink. Even though he is currently focused on cartilage and skin cells suitable for drug testing, Erik believes that his company will make a major breakthrough in 20 years by being able to make implantations on real humans.

Technology really is coming on leaps and bounds, cheers

Someone failed at branding, it should be called Pinocchio ;-)

There's a great future in producing things on demand. Small runs just weren't viable before and medical applications will be part of this. After all everyone has a different nose

good but quite EXPENSIVE.

Depending on what organs you need, not so much. A single heart is ~$250k, IIRC.

perfect invention, it will save lifes, thanks for sharing

Someday.. just someday...
Maybe you could modify your “manhood” size shape and color at you home.

This is crazy, i wonder where we will be in 30 years with tech

This is incredible! It's hard to imagine that this is happening now.
Just to think of the world that our grandchildren will have. I know that it in no way will be perfect but it will be pretty fricken cool!

More and more technology is emerging now a days
Loving tO watch
