It's all part of a UNF undergraduate class called Anatomy in 3D taught by Laura Habegger, assistant professor of biology, and Grant Bevill, associate professor of mechanical engineering.

So far, researchers also used 3-D printing in medicine and dentistry to create dental implants, prosthetics, and models for surgeons to practice on before they make cuts on a patient. But many ...

In recent studies, microfluidic models of different organs, such as the lung, liver and kidney, have been fluidically linked to create human 'body-on-a-chip' models 43.
