We mirror it.

We get a 3D design of your ear.

We put that into our software.

The software slices it up into coordinates and to a system in which the printer can actually print.

Then we take your cartilage cells from your other, from your ear or from other places on your body and place them into this mix of, of, so which we call then a bio ink and then place that into a printer, hit print.

And there you go.

Nathan's got a new ear.

So, so the concept is very simple.

Why would I need a new ear though?

Well, so if you're an accident, if you get a burn, if you're a burn victim, if you have been into a if there's been any trauma, you could have been born without an ear.

Yeah.

So we would take the one that exists.

So if your left one exists.

Oh, I see.

Picture that in a mirror.

But then also, you know, there are donor images and we can see images from from from other patients, et cetera.

So source material is naturally derived.

It's a natural polymer.

It's a hydrogel, which we call it.

It contains about 80% water.
