Summary
Learn from the professor who not only knows about this tech but knows the impact it is having in the scientific fields. Might you need and get 3D-printed cartilage, a 3D printed organ, stents, or other implants to improve your health?
Wollongong University has 150+ scientists and engineers working on the material properties of 3d printed implants, chemical and genomic properties, and more. It's unbelievable the amount of engineering and knowledge that goes into regenerative medicine and 3D printing of organs, tissues, and implants.

| 0:07.0 | Future Technologies always to transform our lives for better or worse are the focus of this podcast. |
| 0:13.0 | Almost here means these technologies are now here and starting to be used. |
| 0:18.0 | We're just around the corner. |
| 0:19.0 | From Bitcoin to artificial intelligence, |
| 0:22.0 | 3D printing, blockchain, virtual reality, and more. |
| 0:26.1 | Hi, this is Richard Jacobs with Future Tech Podcast. |
| 0:29.6 | We're talking about almost here, around the corner technologies. |
| 0:33.2 | I have Gordon Wallace from the University of Wallengong. |
| 0:36.5 | Gordon, how you doing? |
| 0:38.5 | Yeah, pretty good, Rich. |
| 0:41.0 | Good. |
| 0:42.0 | You know, would you fill listeners in on what's your background and expertise? |
| 0:45.7 | What are we going to be talking about today? |
| 0:48.5 | Okay, so my background goes back a long way in research. |
| 0:53.2 | So for the last 30 years or so, we've been looking at developing new materials with a particular |
| 0:58.4 | interest in medical applications. |
| 1:01.0 | And along that journey, we found that it was great to discover the fundamental properties |
| 1:06.0 | of those materials, but it was really impossible to get them into structures and devices |
| 1:10.6 | using traditional fabrication |
| 1:13.1 | approaches and certainly traditional manufacturing. |
| 1:17.2 | So we got involved some 15 years ago in thinking about here we could develop new printing |
