| 3DNews Technologies and IT market. Interesting news from the world of high-tech The University of Toronto has created a portable ... The most interesting in the reviews 05/07/2018 [23:00], Dmitry Prikhodko 3D printing is rightfully considered a simple and effective solution for simplifying the manufacturing process in the manufacture of components used in a wide variety of industries. The versatility of modern 3D printers allows them to build houses, create superior components for cars and other vehicles, and find applications in heavy industry. Such systems are no less in demand in medicine. Suffice it to recall ergonomic prostheses and those made taking into account the individual physiological characteristics of the patient and the complexity of his fracture of a splint made of polymeric materials. This time, scientists from the University of Toronto intend to make an improvised tool for healing deep wounds from a 3D printer. A portable 3D printer weighing less than 1 kg, resembling a marking label gun in appearance and operation, will cope with the task in about two minutes. The exact time of the operation will depend on the size of the damage to the skin. The device does not require a sample of the patient's epidermis, since Canadian specialists use the so-called "bio-ink" to form tissue layers. This material enters the skin in the form of strips similar to adhesive plaster, but differing from it in viscosity due to the presence of alginic acid in the composition. At this stage, the hand-held 3D printer has been successfully tested on animals, first rats and then pigs. The next step is clinical trials involving humans.

The skin graft device they showed in 2014, which is a kind of printer for printing the skin, has been significantly modified and acquired the form of a portable device. It is intended for a system for the rapid restoration of damaged areas of the skin by applying artificial cover to the affected areas. The device will allow you to independently treat wounds in the form of cuts or burns with damage up to the hypodermis (subcutaneous base), without resorting to the services of qualified medical personnel.

Professor Andre Simpson from the University of Toronto at Scarborough faced a problem - expensive and non-environmental ink for a 3D printer.
It turned out that they can be replaced with vegetable oil, which McDonald's willingly provided to the laboratory.
Simpson runs the University's Center for NMR Spectroscopy, where he studies changes in the environment at the micro level, examining objects using nuclear magnetic resonance. This is similar to diagnosing diseases through magnetic resonance imaging, clarifies CNN.
“We take NMR spectroscopy and use it to look at tiny living organisms to understand their biochemical response to environmental change. The goal is to close the gap between medical research and the study of natural conditions, ”Andre Simpson explained to the correspondent.

In 2017, the professor bought a 3D printer especially for his laboratory in order to create structures on site that would help organisms survive inside the NMR spectrometer during the experiment. However, plastic photopolymer for printing turned out to be not only not environmentally friendly, but also too expensive - $500 per 1 liter.
Anticipating ruin, Simpson decided to study the composition of the photopolymer and realized that some of its molecules are identical to those present in ordinary vegetable oil. “The thought came: what if we make a photopolymer for a 3D printer from vegetable oil?” the professor said.
Then another task arose before him and 10 laboratory assistants - to get the required volumes of used oil. The researchers applied to fast food restaurants near the university and were flatly refused everywhere. Almost everywhere: McDonald's unexpectedly agreed to a scientific adventure, giving out 10 liters of oil to the petitioners.

The product was filtered and cleaned of food debris, then synthesized in small volumes over the course of a year in an attempt to convert them into material for 3D printing. The graduate student responsible for the process, Rajshri Ghosh Biswas, printed openwork butterflies from each synthesized and processed batch.
