Neon colors can save lives.That’s thanks to researchers in Poland, who created a colorful 3D-printed liver</a> to help doctors prepare for tumor surgery. Made of polylactic acid and silicone, the liver is printed using a patient’s CT scan. Its casing is transparent, with different colors indicating the tumor, blood vessels, and other parts of the liver. The creators hope that practicing with this model could reduce surgery and recovery time.
