Maybe in five years, human skin can be printed by 3D technology it! It sounds a bit weird, but related studies are in progress among, perhaps one day, it will certainly come true.

Today, some companies are working on a technology called bio-printing process, that the use of biological cells and a special 3D printer to print biological organs and other products, industry experts say, 2025, Biological printing market size could reach 1 billion dollars.

Print biological organ as a high-tech manufacturing industry, previously associated publicity has been overwhelming, and now it seems, beauty companies may soon use bio-printing technology, for the development of related products, and even print a person's skin.Cosmetics giant L'Oreal in actively promoting bio-printing-related research work and lead the development of this technology.The world's largest cosmetics company just recently in California, the United States and Biological printing technology company Organovo cooperation to develop skin tissue 3D printing technology. L'want to print the human skin and used for product testing.

Nurture skin is a slow and complex process. Today, 3D printing technology will accelerate the process of reproduction of human skin. With the development of this technology, people will no longer need to wait for the skin developed in the laboratory, cosmetics companies will also be able to more quickly create the corresponding model by printing the skin, but also to create a more powerful prototype.

Skin is very thin, for 3D printing, the manufacture of skin will be a relatively easy process. 3D printer in a syringe can move along the line the organ, and very slowly squeezed out of the cell solution.Then, layers increases, in order to achieve the thickness desired by the user. In this regard, the market research firm Lux Research's technical adviser Arnold Persia (Arnold Bos) said: By the way syringe, it is possible to print a variety of different types of skin that people will be able to re-create a sensitive skin. or male skin.

This trend will also mean that companies such as L'Oreal will create a new product, and thus increase new revenue channels. Only in 2013, L'Oreal spent on R D and innovation expenditure on the nearly $ 1 billion.

Persia claimed that, in fact, researchers have been able to successfully print of human skin, but as cosmetic test such commercial applications still require five years or so, which part of the reason is that scientists still need to eliminate the use of biological cells in the printing process faces challenge.

Consumer companies want research institutions to submit research funding related print 3D biological opinion. Can replace animal testing methods, product innovation, and security screening programs were pursued by many other consumer products companies.In this regard, global business director for life sciences innovation Procter Gamble Elena Laurie - Luke (Elena Lurie-Luke), said this: Some security problems are still difficult to solve today's methods, the new non-animal test alternatives also need to strengthen .3D biological printing solutions will be a very promising future.
