3D printing used for a new medical procedure

Although the idea may seam a little gruesome, a new medical procedure makes use of a 3d printer to replicate the heel bone for a cancer patient. Normally the leg would be amputated as part of the regular operation, however, a new heel was printed out of titanium and used to save the foot. See the News report from SBS for the full details.
