3D printer to create medical models and surgical guides: Using the patient's CT data, 3D modeling of the 3D model is performed. , and then use the desktop-level device Vertical Dimension Cube MegaS3D Printer to create a model of the patient's data, which can help doctors to more intuitively observe the three-dimensional structure of the patient needing surgery. This can help doctors develop better surgical plans as needed during surgical treatments, thus increasing the success rate and reducing the risk of surgery. It should be noted that devices such as the MegaS3D printer are not expensive, with prices above $1,000 making them affordable to the average consumer, which is why such 3D printing devices are also called consumer-grade 3D printers.
3D printing technology to make human implants: If a patient has bone tumors, bone defects, maxillofacial injuries, skull repair and other orthopedic problems, it is difficult for general prosthetic products to meet the patient's treatment needs. As the actual situation of each patient is different, special implants are needed to help patients successfully repair. Similarly, oral dentistry requires a high degree of customization because of the different alignment, injuries and actual medical conditions of human oral teeth. Therefore, both orthopedics and dentistry require the use of 3D printing technology to customize for patients, making implants more precise and more effective in alleviating healthcare funding shortages.
3D printing to make rehabilitation devices: 3D printing on orthopedic insoles, bionic hands, hearing aids and other rehabilitation devices of real value, not only in the completion of accurate customization, but also to allow accurate and efficient digital manufacturing technology to replace the hand-made methods to shorten the production cycle. In the case of hearing aids, for example, technicians must create an injection mold based on a model of the patient's ear canal, then drill into the mold and other post-processing. To make a hearing aid with a MegaS3D printer, you simply convert a scanned CAD file into a design file that is readable by the 3D printer, and then print it.
Of course, right now 3D printed objects, while not yet able to be applied directly to the human body, as the technology is overcome and 3D printing materials are developed, I believe that in the future we will be able to see more amazing applications of 3D printing in the medical field.
