A recent study at the University of Delaware suggests that 3D-printed corals can effectively replace the natural coral reef systems. Along with harboring the highest biodiversity of any ecosystem globally, coral reefs support over 500 million people across the world, mostly in poor homes. However, they are also one of the most threatened in the … Continue reading "3D-Printed Corals as Replacement for Natural Coral Reef Systems"
