To say the greatest invention of this century, 3D printers can be counted. It can not only print the house but also print the organs, even now cancer can be saved by 3D printing ! Recently, a 54-year-old Spanish male patient lost the thoracic ribs due to cancer cell sarcoma erosion (thoracic wall sarcoma), and because the area is too large and the site is very difficult to rebuild, the medical team thanks to 3D printing to create titanium alloy. The bones are also successfully implanted in his body!
Because such an example is the first, it shocked the global medical community. The team first scanned the patient's chest with high-resolution CT and reconstructed a model containing the tumor so that the surgeon could accurately plan the measurement. Minimize damage to the patient's body.
The medical team of the Spanish hospital entrusted Anatomics Medical Equipment, based in Melbourne, Australia, to ask patients to tailor a very complicated titanium component for 3D, which allows the patient's sternum and rib structure to be perfectly combined and fit perfectly. The implanted object of the chest. Anatomics then sent the document to Lab 22, a 3D printing laboratory owned by CSIRO, a consortium of Australian scientific and industrial research organizations, using a $1.3 million Arcam metal 3D printer.
It works by melting a metal powder with a powerful electron beam, then stacking 3D printed objects layer by layer, followed by polishing to ensure excellent quality of the finished product. When the Spanish hospital got the ultra-high-tech titanium alloy ribs and then performed the operation, it was less than 12 days, the operation was quite successful, and the patient was discharged smoothly. This is a great miracle in the medical world!

Anatomics, a biotech company in Melbourne, also printed a new heel bone for a 3D old man named Chandler.
The 71-year-old Len Chandler has been suffering from progressive, diffuse bone pain and has been diagnosed with a cartilage of the foot. This type of cancer patient is often prone to loss of the calf below the knee because the heel bone may rupture. The medical team performed a 3D scan of Mr. Chandler's tumor-free left foot, and then Anatomics created a model of his right foot with a mirrored design, and then used a state-of-the-art Arcam 3D printer to print a titanium heel based on its model 3D. bone.
This 3D printed heel bone not only fits perfectly with Mr. Chandler's own bones in shape, but also has a smooth surface to seamlessly interface with other bones, tendons and muscles. In addition, the implant must also be porous to facilitate tissue growth. At present, Chandler has recovered from reality and has been able to lose his crutches.
The perfect combination of metal and human body in the bones reminds people of Wolverine!
