In the past two years, the rapid advancement of 3D printing technology has revolutionized many fields. From machine components to building materials, many of the human production materials are ushered in the "printing era." And this epoch-making technology is also deeply affecting the medical industry . Due to the good biocompatibility of materials developed by 3D printing technology, and this technology enables the production of implants to be even customized, 3D printing technology has become a new outlet for investment in life sciences. Recently, the famous 3D printing producer Stratasys announced that it will cooperate with the non-profit organization Jacobs Center to establish a medical device R&D center based on 3D printing technology.
One of the goals of the center is to further expand the application of 3D printing technology in the field of medical and health. In fact, current 3D printing technology has been favored by pharmaceutical regulators including the FDA. In recent years, FDA executives have approved the launch of several implant products based on 3D printing technology. Some large orthodontic product manufacturers such as Stryker have also started to set up 3D printing factories.
Stratasys believes that this collaboration with the Jacobs Center is a milestone. This is the first time the company has partnered with relevant medical institutions to explore the combination of technology and healthcare. With extensive experience in their respective fields, the company will test and develop a variety of new device models and help train clinicians to use these products correctly.
3D printing (English: 3D printing), also known as Additive Manufacturing (AM), can refer to any process of printing three-dimensional objects. 3D printing is primarily a process of continuous addition, stacking raw materials under computer control. The 3D printed content can be derived from a three-dimensional model or other electronic data, and the printed three-dimensional object can have any shape and geometric features. 3D printers are a type of industrial robot. (From Wikipedia)
At present, the application of 3D printing technology in the medical industry mainly includes medical equipment and biological printing. The former has already been on the market, and the latter mainly refers to the use of inkjet technology to produce body tissues and organs. It is envisaged that living cells are deposited layer by layer in a gel medium or a sugar base, slowly forming a three-dimensional structure such as the vasculature. This vision will undoubtedly bring a revolution to the future medical industry.
