Three-dimensional Printing Technology in Surgery

Three dimensional printing, additive manufacturing or stereolithography as it was first described has recently come into vogue within the scientific community. Initially conceived in the 1980s by Charles Hull, it represents the successive addition of layers of various materials to form high definition three dimensional structures using Cartesian co-ordinates from 3D computer aided design (CAD) ...

Three-dimensional printing technology for treatment of intracranial aneurysm

Background: The development of three-dimensional (3D) printing technology provides a new method for surgical treatment, but currently there are few reports on its application in the treatment of aneurysm. The aim of the present study was to explore the materials and methods of fabricating 3D printed individual aneurysm model and its value in the treatment of intracranial aneurysm. Methods: Twen...

In-lab three-dimensional printing

The development of the microscope in 1590 by Zacharias Janssenby and Hans Lippershey gave the world a new way of visualizing details of morphogenesis and development. More recent improvements in this technology including confocal microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and optical projection tomography (OPT) have enhanced the quality of the resultant image. These technologies also allow ...
