The application of 3D printing technique on the medical field / 中国医学装备

ABSTRACT

Numerous applications for three-dimensional (3D) printing are extended rapidly and expected to revolutionize manufacturing industry, as well as the various aspects of medical field. This paper summarizes the domestic and overseas literatures on 3D printing used in medical field, and shows several advantages of 3D printing technique in the application of medicine. The 3D bio-printing technique, however, still need time to be evolved. In addition, the orderly and efficient development of 3D printing within the medical field will ultimately depend on the formulation of relevant policies and regulations and ongoing evolution of technique itself, and it still need carry out more in-depth research and exploration for functional human tissue and organ with 3D printing.
