3D Bio-printer? Print Out an Actual Kidney?

I'm always talking about the future of 3d, but I couldn't foresee this.  The 3d industry, is still in its infancy and will evolve into industries that we can’t even imagine.  It will be intertwined with almost every industry in one way or another, but a 3d organ printer? Very Cooll! 

I was kind of blown away today after hearing about the 3d bio printer.  It does seem a bit Star Treky, but I know it is fairly realistic.  I had a job about a year ago creating an animation that shows how kidney tissue can be grown on a 3D lattice.  Either way, check it out. -- Cornell
