3ders.org - Startup Pembient uses 3D bioprinting to make rhino ivory without killing rhinos | 3D Printer News & 3D Printing News
there is the story.
And NO they can 3D print ALL sort of stuff...not just plastic....metals of all sorts, ceramics, wax, paper...and even FOOD and Bio materials. They are even working out a 3D printer to "print" houses out of concrete AND even one they can send to Mars to "print" a mars base...just install electrical, plumbing and other things and it is ready to go. They have 3D printed some muscles, working on organs and any number of other medical replacement parts (it you will eventually be able to give them some DNA and some stem cells and they will print you a new "whatever").
It is the future guys...and one of the cool things is SOME of these printers that use nylon and plastics...they can just use your household plastic bags and other things as "ink" essentially. Take a read about it on the web and it might blow your mind.
