Title: Some 3-D printing can leave toxic taint
Post by: Kazi Taufiqur Rahman on November 23, 2015, 11:46:05 PM

Today, it seems that three-dimensional, or 3-D, printers are everywhere. People use them in labs, schools —even at home. Anyone can draw an object using a computer program and then print it out of plastic. But some newly printed plastics may emerge with traces of dangerous chemicals, a new study finds. The good news: There also appears to be a cure for the problem.

Shirin Oskui is a bioengineer at the University of California, Riverside. The lab where she works develops tools to measure very small things. She needed a way to measure tiny zebrafish eggs and newly hatched baby fish. So Oskui designed and made a tool using a 3-D printer.
