It's not a real human body part, it's development of parts for Terminators.

From the article....
QuoteThe implant was made out of titanium

From the wiki on Terminators....
Quotethe first model to be manufactured using a titanium alloy

Why 3D? If you print human body parts in 2D you can get an uber-burglar for instance.

Tim article talked about printing it out of someone's house.  Most people don't have a feed stock of titanium in their homes.

To be fair dial-up Yi only ever saw the first 2-3 lines of the pic before. Getting decent internet is like getting new glasses.

Of all the things you can harness for porn technology comes pretty far down the list.

I am not quite sure why they call it "printing" and not "fusing titanium dust together with a laser and then coating it with a high-temperature plasma spray". That's somehow not what comes to my mind when I read printing.

We've been 3D printing automobiles for over 100 years.
