Melanie Matheu explains that their company is working on printing larger parts of the human anatomy, such as organs, to eliminate the organ transplant waitlist. They have developed a super-fast laser printer that can achieve the necessary resolution for building human organs. The conversation covers the engineering challenges, potential applications in veterinary medicine, the timeline for development, potential impacts on healthcare, and the importance of intellectual property protection. We discuss the prioritization of organ replacements, the regulatory process, and the potential societal benefits of successful organ printing, such as extended productive lifespan and improved quality of life.
