Print technology has come a long way even in the past 10 years, from film to digital proofs and copper plates to CTP. But the advances in 3D printing are something out of a sci-fi novel. Not only can we print replacement parts for jetliners and working prototypes for all kinds of products, it’s now possible to hit print on some new bones! That’s pretty mind blowing. And soon they expect your surgeon will be able to special order pieces of bone to fit your specific needs.

Cooking
for fun?
This Fat Friday we have decided to shed a few pounds and cook at home.
