Fripp Design Research, headquartered in the UK, has rapidly been making strides in 3D printing silicone breast implants. Their new technology, Picsima, represents an incredible breakthrough, as it allows 3D printing with silicone.

A unique product, more specifically known as Room Temperature Vulcanising (RTV) medical grade silicone, the material is still in development–as is Picsima. Both the material and 3D printing technology look extremely promising for the future, with the potential to make everyone happier all around–from patients to surgeons.
