Imagine the tragedy of burning your skin? Or perhaps large scars
from an accident. Nowadays, we use a technology called plastic
surgery to make fixes but it’s quite expensive. But in five years
or so, you can just go to the hospital and have them print for you a
new skin.

Scientists are even looking into the possibilities of printing bones
and other organs. Impossible? Think again. The
technology used was borrowed from our regular inkjet printer.
