Chinese academic hospitals are slowly building up a reputation for being innovative adopters of 3D medical printing. After all, we hear about new and exciting medical applications of 3D printing technology in China on an almost daily basis; just yesterday, we learned that a Chinese bone 3D printing project will be entering its animal testing phase. However, another recent report from Zhuzhou really takes things to a completely different level in terms of innovation. There, the three year old Han Han successfully underwent a brain shrinkage surgery while receiving a 3D printed titanium skull implant that accurately fits the new brain.

Hackaday, the website and global online community of hackers that features stories on hacks and original material, launched its annual Hackaday Prize competition back in early March. Since then, they’ve been receiving some impressive submissions from across the hacking community. By “hackers” they don’t mean a computing wiz who finds ingenious ways to access data that’s, in one way or another, off limits. “Hacking” in this context is about using something in a way in which it was not originally intended for use.
