Nature-Inspired 3D Printing to Accelerate Coral Restoration and Enhance Bone Tissue Engineering

Hamed’s idea of using 3D printing for coral restoration and bone regeneration stemmed from the need to find innovative solutions to address medical and environmental challenges.

The concept was inspired by the potential of 3D printing technology to create complex structures with precision and customization. Recognizing the declining health of corals in the Red Sea, the limitations of traditional coral restoration methods, and the demand for effective bone regeneration, Hamed developed a material for both applications.

It provides a promising approach to enhance bone-healing and accelerate the restoration of corals, offering hope for medical treatments and endangered ecosystems.
