Advantages of 3d printing
Traditional product design is completed by 3d printing, and the real value of 3d printing has not been fully realized. In more cases, it is necessary to break through the limitations of design thinking and give full play to the free modeling advantages of 3d printing. 3d printing also has the advantages of personalized customization, geometric complexity and functional integration.
Exclusive custom
As mentioned above, in the biomedical field, customized biomaterials are needed to better meet the needs of cases. 3d printing technology can print products that are highly matched with patients' needs through the accurate data of 3d scanner, so that they can get the most suitable products in the shortest time and help them recover as soon as possible. Cases in which 3d printing is applied to personalized customization include: medical models, bionic ears, tissues and organs, implants, hearing aid housings, etc.
Complex geometric shape
3d printing can model objects with complex geometric shapes, and combine the existing two-dimensional data to obtain a scientific and accurate patient lesion model, which can provide accurate guidance for doctors' surgical treatment.
infuse
Composite structure: the porous structure of the implant is firm and has enough elastic deformation space, which is beneficial to bone growth. Due to the complex shape and small size of the hole structure, traditional processing technology can not be realized. Metal 3d printing technology can manufacture implants according to the porosity and size in the design scheme, which brings more freedom for the design optimization of implants.
Function integral
The gasket used in spinal reconstruction is made by three-dimensional printing technology, and the product design adopts overbearing design concept, which can be adjusted according to the anatomy of the patient and the requirements of the doctor. At the same time, it can be used as a reinforcing pad of spinal cord to create a bright spot, which can be completed at one time by metal 3d printing technology, eliminating the steps of product assembly.
The above examples all prove the development prospect and value of 3d printing in the medical industry. The application of 3d printing in various fields still has obvious advantages. The erector and everyone are looking forward to the further development of this technology.
