The survivor of a serious motorbike crash has made surgical history after his entire face was rebuilt using 3D printed parts.
Stephen Power is thought to be one of the first trauma patients in the world to have 3D printing technology used at every stage of the medical procedure to restore his looks.
Doctors at Morriston Hospital, Swansea, had to break his cheekbones again before rebuilding his face in an eight-hour operation.

Every time I see something like this, it makes me glad I sold my motorbike.

I wouldn’t mind having a titanium weave over my skeleton.

Could I have one that comes in a little less expensive cost? My insurance won’t pay for titanium.

Since it is the UK - did his motor cycle insurance pay or was this paid by the NHS (taxpayers).?????

I like it that they’re going to keep tweaking his face until it is back to its original configuration
and he can look in the mirror and see his old self again.
That must have been some accident. He was wearing his helmet, and he still got face smashed.
My helmet saved my face when I crashed my motorcycle. My left knee and left middle finger,
not so much, though.

Maybe these folks can print up a spine for Obama and Kerry.

Problem with that is theyd use it against the USA instead of against the USAs enemies. So far, 3D printers arent in the business of making new hearts . . .

Probably face punched with a truck.
Neets was driving her car when some inconsiderate guy leaned his bike over on a curve, put his head into oncoming traffic, and peeled her driver side fender off with his face.
I imagine that the guy in this article experienced something akin to a metal face wrap.
Though probably not like that...
