1 New challenges prompt3DPrinting pioneers a revolution in the medical field

In the medical field, innovation is life. In medical research and clinical practice, doctors face several major challenges: the degree and quality of medical devices and products need to meet * standards; We need to develop highly customized treatment plans for patients in the shortest possible time; Because implantable medical devices and the tissues and organs used for transplantation are highly complex, and these devices or tissues and organs need to adapt to the special situations of different patients, from a product perspective, this means a high degree of personalization and customization. Manufacturing using traditional methods is not only very difficult, but also faces the dilemma of significantly increasing costs. Faced with this new challenge, the application3DThe changes that printing technology can bring to the medical field, namely3DPrinting technology is highly suitable for applications that require minimal customization of complex objects. That is to say, leveraging the power3DPrinting technology, especially inkjet printing3DPrinting technology and laser selective melting(selective laser melting, SLM)Technology enables doctors, researchers, and medical equipment manufacturers to quickly and accurately provide patients with high-precision, personalized medical devices and treatment plans, achieving high-quality treatment outcomes and improving patients' quality of life.

Traditional CNC manufacturing mainly involves“Removal type”On the basis of raw materials, cutting, grinding, corrosion, melting and other methods are used to remove excess parts and obtain components, which are then combined into the final product through assembly, welding and other methods3DPrinting subverts this concept by allowing objects of any shape to be directly created based on computer graphics data without the need for prototypes and molds, by adding materials layer by layer. This not only shortens the product development cycle, simplifies the manufacturing process, and improves efficiency, but also greatly reduces costs. Therefore, it is known as“additive manufacturing”.
