    I can’t believe how much the pacing and editing - especially the voice over parts - feels like something you would find on TV. But it’s on RUclips? For free? Incredible. I would definitely pay to watch this if I had to.

    To answer your question about getting pictures of the brain, you can use an MRI scan, and it's apparently not that hard, there's instructables for it and stuff. I kinda want to print my own brain in TPU just so I can literally punch it when I'm having a bad mental day

    @10:37: "This fume cupboard's made for shorter people than me, isn't it?" Fun fact: the kitchen that early US television chef Julia Child (6'2"/188 cm) used on her show was designed by her husband and had countertops two inches higher than normal to accommodate her height. The kitchen is in the Smithsonian today.

    There's an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation in their second season, where Warf sustained a back injury, and Dr. Polasky "grew" a new spinal column. The process looks a lot like the optical 3D printer, except upside down. I've seen this in other SciFi shows and movies of the 1980s and 1990s. Even The Fifth Element had something similar, where bone was 3D printed, and everything else was grown in a matrix on the body.

    • @pileofstuff
      @pileofstuff 7 месяцев назад +4

      The intro to Westworld has similar Sci-Fi versions of 3D printing. In their case, the extruder is on the end of an industrial robot arm.

    Very nice to see some exposure for this field! No kidding with the multidisciplinary remark. Microfluidics has allowed me, an electrical engineer, to do biochemistry. :D Currently doing research on developing chips for droplet-based microfluidics for new types of disease diagnostics. It's definitely a young field, which is sort of still building towards a possible (commercial) break-through, but just the scientific applications are already super interesting! :)) I expect to see big things once the practical aspects are worked out. Things such as standardisation of methods so that modules can be integrated into more complex systems.

  • @keyofd
    @keyofd 7 месяцев назад +10

    I am working on my PhD in a lab developing DLP_SLA 3D printers (resin) specifically for microfluidics. You would be shocked at how small you can print channels. You can print systems with dozens pumps and valves and mixers on a chip that is only a few mm in each dimension. You can print channels that are as small as 2 microns in each dimension. That 25x smaller than a human hair!!!!
