A team at ETH Zurich led by Professor André Studart has found developed a « 3D printing platform that works using living matter, » ie bacteria.
“Printing using bacteria-containing hydrogels has enormous potential, as there is such a wide range of useful bacteria out there,” the ETH team noted in a release. “Most people only associate bacteria with diseases, but we actually couldn’t survive without bacteria.” Look out world — you could soon be printing with bacteria all the livelong day.
