The 3-D printer project is one of several collaborative projects between oncologists at Mary Bird Perkins - Our Lady of the Lake Cancer Center and LSU's medical physics program in LSU Department of Physics and Astronomy. The resources of both programs augment the other, creating a symbiotic relationship. Mary Bird Perkins and LSU have become national leaders in the use of 3-D printers to fight cancer.
