I read the splint was constructed out of a biopolymer. PLA is a biopolymer but I assume it's something else that's done on a SLA machine? Is this something being developed?
There was a TED talk about a guy who modeled and 3d printed a stint for his heart so we wouldn't have to take a blood thinner for the rest of his life. Would 3d printing the biopolymer stint work the same way for hearts?
