Some people urgently need constant monitoring of their internal organs. For this, there are various equipment that a person must carry on himself. However, this is not always convenient and can cause discomfort. An alternative may be biosensors directly on the internal organs. American researchers just introduced the appropriate technology of 3D printing.

University of Minnesota employees have developed a new 3D printing method that allows sensors to be applied directly to internal organs. A particular difficulty is that the heart and lungs are constantly in a mobile state and change shape. To solve this problem, the “motion capture" technique was widely used in the production of films and video games. With its help, the printer is able to monitor the path of printing on the surface of organs, depending on the change in their shape.
