Rizzo: “I produce printers intended to create organs for bodies” – The interview with Corriere della Sera

Roberto Rizzo, President of SolidWorld GROUP, did an interview with Corriere della Sera to talk about the new 3D printer Electrospider mainly intended for regenerative medicine, as it is capable of perfectly reproducing 3D cellular constructs. This printer promises to solve two surgical problems, namely transplantation and rejection.

“Four years ago I began to see the human body as a machine, the most complex one that exists. Forget about brain, thought, consciousness. I am talking about organs that perform the most disparate functions and are compacted in a very limited and interconnected environment. We created a three-dimensional scanning software that transforms tomography and magnetic resonance imaging into digital models of these organs. Think about the advantages in the case of liver metastases: the surgeon has a perfect model in his hand, he knows where to cut. And in fact the experimentation has already been useful in cardiac and renal operations, in spina bifid, in the separations of conjoined twins" explains Roberto Rizzo, President of SolidWorld GROUP.
