Doctors shown modelling and printing a replica of a human jaw

North Korea has shown a new 3D printer, which it claims is used for cosmetic surgery and dentistry, according to recently released footage from Korean Central Television (KCTV).

3D printing is a cutting-edge technology that can assemble objects and designs created on computer software. It is currently used in a variety of industries, and is progressing quickly in fields like medicine.

“With this new technology, we can mould various bone fragments through a detailed facial blueprint,” Dr. Hwang Seong Hyeok from North Korea’s Department of Dentistry tells KCTV.

The printer reportedly allows North Korean doctors to work with very detailed images
