• Question: have any of your printed bones ever been used by medical staff? If so, is it rewarding to see the effects of your research?

      Hi Emma,

      Currently my printed bones are not being put into people because they are still in development. However at my old job I worked on hip replacements (a type of metal bone) that were made by casting (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casting) rather than 3D printing and those are being put into people by surgeons, including Andy Murray.
