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 theThe most common technology used for 3D printing medical devices is called powder bed fusion. Powder bed fusion is commonly used because it works with a variety of materials used in medical devices Those companies that do survive will have to fight for their pennies. The market for 3D printing is expected to grow to $8.4bn by 2025, according to Lux Research's report. Bioprinting's The Risks of Revolution: Ethical Dilemmas in 3D Printing from a US Perspective. Abstract. Additive manufacturing has spread widely over the past decade, especially with the availability of home 3D printers. In the future, many Introduction. Issue One: Safety. Issue Two: Intellectual Property. The aims of this article are 3-fold: the first aim includes performance of a literature review to summarize current evidence regarding 3DP technology in plastic surgery. Second, we discuss future directions of this technology within plastic surgery. Finally, we consider unique ethical issues that may arise when employing 3DP technology.
3D-printing technology will continue to change the way we make objects, but it is not without ethical, legal, and environmental concerns. Visit Insider's Tech Reference library for more stories .
Abstract. This is a review of some of the recent developments in the application of 3D printing to medicine. The topic is introduced with a brief explanation as to how and why 3D is changing practice, teaching, and research in medicine. Then, taking recent examples of progress in the field, we illustrate the current state of the art.Some salient recent examples include 3D Printing firearms [3] and gene editing unborn children without proper consent [2]. Therefore, another good reason to discuss bioethics is to answer the
The 3D printing industry has grown dramatically over the last decade and continues to challenge and re-shape the health technology field today [1,2]. 3D printing (also known as additive manufacturing) is the process of making a physical object from a digital model through the automated addition of material. 7xvn2C.
