Surgeons need steady hands. If you’re Wolfgang Arzt, you also need nerves of steel.
Arzt performs heart surgery on unborn babies, inserting a needle into the mother’s womb and carefully pushing it through a tiny valve in the fetus’ heart that’s just 2 millimeters in diameter, or about as wide as a pinhead. Then he perforates the valve. “If I go 1 or 2 millimeters too far, I tear off the vessel and everything is over,” he says from his office at Kepler University Hospital in Austria, where as head of prenatal care he has overseen more than 140 such procedures.

In 2015, Roland Rott got wind of a Brazilian doctor who was 3D printing fetal ultrasound images so that blind parents could "feel" their babies.

So he challenged his team of engineers at GE Healthcare to come up with a way to convert these images swiftly and easily. The result: the GE Voluson E10, the world’s first ultrasound system to have built-in 3D-printing capability.
