Abstract. 3D printing technology evolved in the 1980s, but has made great strides in the last decade from both a cost and accessibility standpoint. While most printers are employed for commercial uses, medical 3D printing is a growing application which serves to aid physicians in the diagnosis, therapeutic planning, and potentially the
Summary. Very high mortality rates of coronavirus pandemic (COVID‐19) are observed around the world due to lack of medical equipment. The increased need for medical devices and personal protective equipment (PPE) has kept several healthcare professionals at risk. Fortunately, 3D printing technology allows to overcome the lack of medical supplies.
Licensing agreements play a vital role in ensuring compliance with intellectual property rights when using 3D printing technology. These agreements outline the terms and conditions for using copyrighted or patented designs. To avoid legal issues: – Read and understand licensing agreements before using any 3D designs.
As more institutions incorporate in-house or outsourced 3D printing for research models and clinical care, ethical and regulatory concerns will become a greater consideration. This report highlights the uses of 3D printing in eye care by subspecialty and clinical modality, with an aim to provide a useful entry point for anyone seeking to engage
Binding/Fusing. Most Prominent Potential Hazards. Material extrusion. Thermoplastics (may include additives) Spooled filament, pellet, or granulate. Electrical heating element-induced melting/cooling. Inhalation exposure to VOCs, particulate, additives; burns. Powder bed fusion. Metal, ceramic, or plastic.
3D bio-printing is time-consuming and as a result expensive, as Linda Griffith, Director of the Center of Gynepathology Research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, explains in the Guardian: "If you 3D print a dress, or a gun, it is pretty easy to tell right away if it works," she said. "The assays to tell whether bioprinting works
33 Moreover, major ethical issue is the use of materials for 3D printing, or in this case, bio-printing. 3D printing has led to amazing advances in medicine, being capable of saving lives, lowering healthcare costs and improving human life’s quality. For example, researchers have managed to create a 3D printer useful in creating low cost
The pioneering home 3D printing company MakerBot was embroiled in a number of controversies over its changing approach to intellectual property (IP), resulting in disenchantment with the open source maker community and alienation from its user-base. Bre Pettis, the former head of MakerBot, reflected in an interview, “the open-source community
Abstract. Three‐dimensional (3D) bioprinting is an emerging, groundbreaking strategy in tissue engineering, allowing the fabrication of living constructs with an unprecedented degree of complexity and accuracy. While this technique greatly facilitates the structuring of native tissue‐like architectures, many challenges still remain to be faced.
