I don't think it's necessary to say more about the role of 3D printing. Today, let's talk about the applications of 3D printers in the medical industry?
1.Oral field
The characteristic of 3D printing technology is accurate reproduction, and 3D printing combined with digital application has brought the advantages of high precision, high efficiency and low cost to the dental industry in the oral field. It can effectively reduce the production time of dental molds, dentures, surgical guides and other products. At the same time, dental workers can better diagnose oral diseases and oral surgery for patients. For the dental processing plant, it only needs a dental 3D printing and accurate data, combined with the requirements given by the dentist, it can accurately customize all kinds of dental products.
2.Human tissue implant
Because everyone's human bone shape is irregular and individual differences are large, the use of 3D printing technology has become an effective solution for substitute products such as bone defect, maxillofacial injury and skull repair in orthopedics. The prosthesis made by 3D printing technology can be tailored according to the patient's own characteristics. Moreover, 3D printing technology can print the biomimetic bone trabecular microporous structure integrated with the implant, which is conducive to the growth of human bones.
3.Medical model
The 3D printed medical model allows doctors to visually see the three-dimensional structure of the surgical site before surgery, and helps doctors plan the surgical plan. Especially for complex surgery, it helps to reduce the risk of surgery and improve the success rate of surgery.
