Facial replacement via 3D printing
Amazing innovative technology was created to rebuild the human face with 3D printing in silicone.
English chemist Frederick Kipping did his pioneering work on the study of the organic compounds of silicon which led to synthetic rubber and silicone-based lubricants used to enhance the decollete of dancers, seal fish tanks and now rebuild the human face.
Industrial designer Tom Fripp was contacted by researchers at the University of Sheffield and asked if it would be possible to print struct...
