Our brain isn’t like bones, but is instead a living organ. When we use a 3D printer we put in the ink cartridges, and it works by melting the ink cartridges then printing layers of whatever pattern we create on the computer. I think it will be a very, very long time before we get ‘brain’ ink cartridges in the stationers! Every single part of the brain is a complicated network of neurons and fibres, so expecting a printer to sort out all of the layering would be a big ask indeed!
