Surgeons can now practice on a 3D-printed copy of a patient before diving into the real thing.
This is pretty neat - kinda want to pick some up just for some of the anatomical models that are out there.

It behaves the same as normal bone with most tools, but it just isn’t as porous real bone so you can’t get that real soaked-in-the-blood-of-your-enemies look if that’s what you’re going for.
