An engine was printed using a 3D printer in Australia. It was developed for the only 1914 Delage Type-S car in the world.

This is reported by "Popular Mechanics".

"> The French company Delage was founded in 1905 and produced cars before the First World War.

parts, he digitized the cylinder block inside and out using a handheld 3D scanner.

Thanks to 3D printing, the cylinder block was made in a local foundry and carefully polished by hand, after which the engine was assembled and worked like new.

Earlier, Inform-UA reported that the well-known automotive company Ford will use 3D printing technology for parts. The technology for 3D printing of automotive parts is called Stratasys Infinite Build.

The company has pioneered the use of a 3D printer in the production of automakers. 3D printing is planned to be used for models in the Ford Performance line and personalized parts.

 Science print directly on top of the damage and over time it will become exactly the same bone tissue as the rest. Whether this technology will become a breakthrough in medicine and how soon the cultivation of bones will become a planned operation - our scientific observer Nikolai Grinko understood.

In 1997, Luc Besson's film The Fifth Element was released. It contained a scene of the re-creation of the main character Lilu, from which, after the explosion of the spaceship, only a hand remained. In the story, scientists have deciphered DNA and printed a new body using a device that today we would call a biological 3D printer. Then, 24 years ago, such technologies seemed unrealizable fantasy. But to date, the human genome has already been deciphered, and bioprinters have learned to print living organs, albeit as an experiment so far. Medical high-tech is developing very quickly, and just the other day, researchers have learned how to print new bones directly in the body.

For complex fractures or certain diseases, the patient needs to replace a section of a bone. To do this, transplantation is used today: a bone fragment is taken from another part of the body and implanted into the damaged area.

Advanced clinics today already use 3D printers for bone reconstruction: a three-dimensional scaffold is printed from experimental materials in the required place, and healthy cells from the adjacent bone tissue eventually migrate to a new place. The framework itself then dissolves and is excreted from the body. The whole process is quite slow and takes a lot of time. Australian researchers have created a new printing material: a calcium phosphate biogel, into which the patient's living bone cells are pre-integrated.

The gel is delivered to the place of "repair" by a medical printer and immediately begins to harden, turning into a bone-like structure in just a few minutes.

Already at this stage, its strength is quite high, although less than that of real bones. The cells integrated into it begin reproduction, and they use the biogel as a building material, and over time, the entire artificial structure is replaced by living cells.

Another advantage of the method is that earlier the scaffold for cells had to be printed in advance, having previously scanned the damaged bone, and only then implanted into the body. Moreover, high-temperature furnaces and highly toxic chemicals were used for this. Now you can print a "patch" directly in the patient's body, literally building a new bone in layers.

The technology has not yet been tested on humans, it is currently undergoing the stage of experiments on laboratory animals. But bioengineers say that the experiments are taking place with absolutely predictable and encouraging results, and the reasons why the biogel could not be used in the human body have not yet been identified.

Mankind has always dreamed of learning how to repair their bodies. Medicine has come a long way – shamanism, medicinal herbs, pharmacology, surgery, bioengineering… What the next stage will be, we don’t know yet, but if the 1997 film was able to predict today’s technologies (albeit in a very approximate form), then probably today’s cinema can also be used as a forecast.
