Here is a roundup of the top 3D printing news from last week.

Bioprinting pioneer Organovo looks to 3D print a full-scale human liver in 2014, achieving the holy grail of bioprinting.

In other bioprinting news, a new device called the BioPen has been developed that enables surgeons to literally draw bone, skin, and muscle tissue. It’s like having a 3Doodler in the operating room.

At the Galerias Mall in Mexico, a 3D scanning and 3D printing booth captured the attention of a large crowd. Watch a short video documentary.
