Medical field, 3D printing has the technical advantages of the field of orthodontics tailored to the requirements of the field to provide an effective technical complement.
Dental orthodontics
General oral orthodontics, the patient bites off the basic dental mold made of fast-setting adhesive, and after a professional doctor constantly adjusts the dental mold angle, direction and deviation. It is time-consuming and laborious, which affects the speed of orthodontic treatment and prolongs the patient's visit to the doctor.
At present, the use of 3D printing technology on the patient's oral scanner scanning and generate three-dimensional digital model sent to the longitudinal dimensional cubic light-curing 3D printer printing , you can quickly obtain high-precision dental models. 3D printing can be directly worn orthodontic braces, improve the efficiency of the visit, improve the oral occlusion of the medical experience. Compared to traditional dental braces, 3D printed clear aligners are not only invisible and aesthetically pleasing, but also sized to better fit the patient at each stage of the orthodontic process.
Prosthetic orthotics
Ordinary plaster model, according to the characteristics of the patient's limb, plaster bandage on the patient's limb to wrap and take the mold, so that it is solidified into the mold cavity, and then plaster paste into the mold cavity to turn the mold, and finally get the residual limb model of the patient's limb parts of the size of the same.?
It is worth noting that this residual limb model can not be directly applied, but also requires professional prosthetic technicians through complex technical means to complete, and ultimately produced to meet the needs of the patient wearing a prosthetic limb or prosthetic orthosis.
3D printing technology can save a lot of labor, material resources and time. Using 3D printing rapid prototyping of prosthetic orthotics more in line with the patient's limb structure, improve the comfort of the user. At the same time, the low manufacturing cost of 3D printed prosthetic orthoses greatly reduces the economic burden of users.
Organ models
Kidneys are very important organs in the human body, and 3D printed models can mimic a variety of tissue features in the printing process based on real patient imaging data.
Light-curing 3D printers can print full-color, lifelike 3D-printed organ models to help identify and avoid peripheral arterial and vascular injuries due to complex or high-volume tumors, which can aid in more precise surgical planning.
In addition, the 3D printed models produced by the light-curing 3D printers can be used to explain a patient's condition, plan complex surgical procedures in advance, and reduce surgical time and associated costs and risks.
The technology can import data directly from the computer to generate samples of any shape, avoiding the consumption of labor and material resources for certain complex structural parts in the development process, shortening the product customization cycle, and saving manpower, material resources, and time, which has the advantages of low manufacturing cost, short R&D cycle, and high production efficiency.
