When it comes to the harmful effects of 3D printing on human society, the achievements of the medical industry are even more remarkable. A few days ago, doctors in the United States used 3D printing technology, prosthetic limbs are made for a residual duck can move normally. There is also precedent for the use of 3D printing to create prosthetic limbs, as back in 2014, doctors utilized the technology to successfully place a 5-year-old girl with a crippled left arm in the palm of her hand. In addition, some doctors have successfully implanted 3D printed spines in patients and used 3D printing to help design the shape of defective heads.
The 4Max Metal 3D printer is said to be a technology that uses bondable materials such as powdered metals or plastics to print in layers for rapid prototyping of objects. Its convenient, fast, one-to-one replication characteristics, not only in the industrial field can play a huge role, but also to meet the requirements of personalization and accuracy of medical products, so that the new technology in the medical field.
According to reports, at present, a number of hospitals in China are accelerating the "3D printing technology + medical" landing, a number of hospitals in China have already had the application of 3D printing technology cases. This method is able to print out the patient's organ model in advance for preoperative planning and preview, which greatly shortens the time for surgical judgment and improves the therapeutic effect. In addition, 3D printing technology can also be applied to surgical guides, rehabilitation stents, orthopedic ligatures and live organ printing in medicine. However, at present, both from the technical level and from the ethical level, living organ printing technology is still in the exploration stage.
Some experts pointed out that 3D printing technology needs to be more "anthropomorphic", whether it is material or feel, as close as possible to human tissue, and the diversity of materials needs to be further improved. According to reports, 3D printing technology for metals, polymers, ceramics, and biological materials has already been developed worldwide. For example, the Vertical Dimension Cube 4Max Metal 3D printer is one of the representative devices for metal printing.
Despite the increasing application of 3D printing technology, it is not yet mass-produced due to the fact that it is a personalized and customized product, limited by its own materials, technology, and other limitations, and cannot be popularized in the clinic for the time being. However, these limitations are broken one by one, the future of 3D printing technology will bring the gospel to more patients.
