A group of researchers at Louisiana Tech University in the United States have developed an innovative method of using a home 3D printer to manufacture customized medical implants containing drugs that are gradually released into the body, including chemotherapeutic treatments.
Great product designers design great experiences. Although it may seem counterintuitive, a useful approach to designing a physical product is to view it as a series of experiences.
This is how it works, we start thinking and keep thinking, until it becomes too boring or too big in our minds, at which point we start to doubt our capabilities, or get scared that someone will take advantage of “My great idea!”. If you are lucky and manage to get out of your initial inhibitions and insecurities.
We have been reading about the wonders that 3D printing will bring us for some years now, but its real impact on our health, for example, is still only anecdotal. However, the efforts of those who have believed in additive manufacturing since its inception are beginning to bear fruit and, little by little, with the technology ready and a lot of education, they are carving out a niche in the market.
