With 3D technology processing by big steps, now 3D printers can manufacture many more amazing things than we can imagine, from toys, swimwear, food and even artificial blood vessels.

Based on 3-D printing and two-photon polymerization technology, engineers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Interfacial Engineering and Biotechnology IGB have successfully developed printed blood vessels, which seeded with endothelial cells without being rejected. The team will present their work at the Biotechnica Fair in Hanover, Germany, on October.
