FLEXING? RESEARCHERS BUILD MUSCLES WITH A 3D PRINTER
Many people spend countless hours in the gym to build muscles. But scientists in Switzerland have found a sweat-free method – using a 3D printer.
This image is one of the first examples of a 3D-printed artificial muscle, produced by a team of researchers from Empa’ s Laboratory for Functional Polymers in Switzerland.
It could prove to be a crucial healthcare breakthrough, potentially being used to support people when walking or replace injured muscle tissue. healthcare-digital. com 13
