We have shared the practical application significance and development of medical 3D printing, as well as the application fields, click our webpage to get in touch with us

 

Medical 3D printing

Medical 3D printing is based on intelligently processed 3D digital model files, and arbitrarily complex 3D solid shapes are constructed by adding material layer by layer. At present, there are four main principles: FFF, SLA/DLP, SLS, SLM, and the consumables mainly include PLA, resin, PEEK, titanium alloy and other materials.

The application significance of medical 3D printing

Medical models are widely used in basic medicine and clinical laboratory teaching, but the medical models made by traditional methods have complex procedures and long cycles, and are easily damaged during use. With the development of 3D printing technology, the production of medical teaching tools, medical surgery experimental models and other supplies provides great convenience, and special models can also be personalized according to actual needs.

3d printing in medicine

For high-risk surgeries, in order to ensure the safe implementation of medical surgery, doctors will analyze and plan according to the diseased organ model to determine the important surgical plan. The advantages of using 3D printing technology to accurately control materials can quickly prepare high-quality and high-simulation organ models, which can help doctors carry out accurate surgical planning, improve the success rate of surgery, and facilitate intuitive communication between doctors and patients on surgical plans.

3d printing in medicine

If a patient has orthopedic problems such as bone defects, maxillofacial injuries, and skull repair, it is difficult to meet the treatment needs of patients with general repair products. The commonly used titanium alloy materials and PEEK materials can be customized for patients using 3D printing technology, so that the implant medical treatment is more accurate, perfect fit, reduce the chance of infection, speed up the recovery process, and reduce medical costs.

3d printing in medicine

In view of the skull underdevelopment of many infants and young children at birth, uneven skull development, flat head shape and other newborn infant head development problems, 3D printing custom corrective helmet found a new solution, through the 3D scanner to the child's head for all-round scanning, to obtain an accurate child head data, by professional personnel according to the data, reverse modeling, design a corrective helmet in line with the child's head shape, can be selected PLA, resin, medical PEEK and other materials, through 3D printer production, In just a few hours, you can customize a child's own orthodontic helmet.

3d printing in medicine

Medical education, making models of various parts of the human body for medical students to learn and train, using 3D printing technology can make models of various parts of the human body for medical students to learn and train. These models help students and physicians better understand human anatomy and pathology, improve surgical skills and decision-making.
