Abstract
Additive manufacturing in the form of 3D printing is a revolutionary technology that has developed within the last two decades. Its ability to print an object with accurate features down to the micro scale have made its use in medical devices and research feasible. A range of life-saving technologies can now go from the laboratory and into field with the application of 3D-printing. This technology can be applied to medical diagnosis of patients in at-risk populations. Living biosensors are limited by being Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) from being employed for medical diagnosis. However, by containing them within a 3D-printed enclosure, these technologies...
