Keith Murphy, CEO of Organovo, stated that his company will be able to 3D print partial organs within the next 4-6 years. These partial organs could be used to repair damaged organs, such as the liver, providing valuable time to patients as they await a full transplant.

Others have predicted that a 3D printed human liver could be about 10 years away. Whether this estimation accounts for all the red tape required to actually implant such an organ into a human body it’s really anyone’s guess.
