Aussie scientists develop 3D printing technology that could disrupt the global stent manufacturing industry

Researchers from CSIRO, Australia’s national science agency, in partnership with Wollongong-based Medical Innovation Hub, have come up with a way to 3D print tailor-made stents, a critical biomedical device used to treat narrow or blocked arteries. Using a cutting-edge 3D printing process called Selective Laser Melting, the team of scientists at CSIRO’s Lab22 in Melbourne…
