Cardiothoracic 3D Printing: Workflow and Applications for Clinical Practice
Background/Introduction Recent advances in anatomic rendering software have improved our ability to convert image datasets into file formats that can be used to create highly detailed cardiothoracic models. Parallel improvements in 3D printer technology have decreased the time necessary to produce physical representations of these models. We will describe the use of these models to assist with ...

متن کاملDimensional 3 - D Printing in Organ Transplantation
An insufficient supply of organs for transplant is an ever present obstacle for transplant medicine. A long term resolution of these problems is being sought by developing ways to engineer live organs from a person’s own cells. Previous tissue manufacturing approaches involved seeding either adult or stem cells onto various 3D scaffolds, with subsequent cell proliferation and differentiation in...
متن کاملThree-dimensional printing in cardiology: Current applications and future challenges.
Three-dimensional (3D) printing has attracted a huge interest in recent years. Broadly speaking, it refers to the technology which converts a predesigned virtual model to a touchable object. In clinical medicine, it usually converts a series of two-dimensional medical images acquired through computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging or 3D echocardiography into a physical model. Medical 3D...
متن کاملApplications of Open Source 3-D Printing on Small Farms
There is growing evidence that low-cost open-source 3-D printers can reduce costs by enabling distributed manufacturing of substitutes for both specialty equipment and conventional mass-manufactured products. The rate of 3-D printable designs under open licenses is growing exponentially and there are already hundreds of designs applicable to small-scale organic farming. It has also been hypothe...
