TU Delft's 3D printed hip implant makes use of innovative hybrid bio-metamaterials with unique properties

3D printing has already made a serious impact on the construction of prosthetics and other medical devices over the last few years, and this looks set to continue as the technology progresses. The development of new materials should be a particularly large contributing factor, with bio-materials offering a whole range of advantages due to their organic basis.
