Description
"A miniature and flexible soft robotic arm which could be used to 3D print biomaterial directly onto organs inside a person’s body has been developed by engineers at UNSW Sydney. The proof-of-concept device, known as F3DB, features a highly manoeuvrable swivel head that ‘prints’ the bioink, attached to the end of a long and flexible snake-like robotic arm. The research team tested their device, as seen here, inside an artificial colon."
