3D Printers Now Print Human Body Parts



Since about 1998 I`ve been counting the days until I can go out and buy a `home` 3D printer. The MakerBot folks have achieved this goal with their DIY $2000.00 3D printer. 3D printing has a very wide range of applications but as it pertains to the coming cyborg revolution is especially critical.

Three-D printing is one of a handful of core technologies that will help usher in the cyborg takeover (in fact the only core technologies that does not exist yet is a suitable cyborg power supply). Along with artificial intelligence and automated manufacturing and material warehousing, 3D printing will allow robots to build themselves.

I read this article but the image alone says it all. The researcher`s used a 3D laser heating process to fuse synthetic resins with titanium metal during the 3D printing of the jaw bone. The synthetic jaw bone is stronger and designed as a prosthetic replacement for folks with debilitating jaw conditions. A very worthwhile bit of science that will unfortunately be used against humanity by the coming cyborg revolution.

The article is about a replacement jaw for a patient and there is even a photo of the teeth graphed onto the 3D printed jaw bone. But if they can attach teeth to it, they can attach other things like electronic devices to the 3D jaw bone. How about an enhanced taste/smell circuit that could give a cyborg the senses akin to a Bloodhound while tracking down escaped humans? How about a jaw loaded with explosives that can be ejected from the cyborg-body and used like a grenade? Howe about a jaw with a frikkin' laser?

I think if you read this article the application for cyborgization are huge.
"The whole thing is rather impressive, if a little disconcerting. The team behind this world first say that this operation opens the way for more 3D-printed patient-required body parts." ~ pcworld.com article "
