Commentary: Three-dimensional printing for preoperative planning—Beyond illustrating the obvious

Three-dimensional printing technology.

A novel three-dimensional printing of electroconductive scaffolds for bone cancer therapy application

Objective(s): Tissue engineering aims to achieve a tissue, which has highly interconnected porous microstructure concurrent with appropriate mechanical and biological properties. Materials and Methods: Therefore, the microstructure scaffolds are of great importance in this field. In the present study, an electroconductive poly-lactic acid (EC-PLA) filament used to fabricate a porous bone ...

Preoperative Evaluation for Complex Female Genital Tract Malformation Using Three-dimensional Printing Technology

A 33‐year‐old woman, gravida 1, para 0, came to the hospital with the chief complaint of severe dysmenorrhea and infertility. Her menstrual cycle was regular, bleeding moderately for 3–5 days with an interval of 30 days. She was diagnosed with ectopic pregnancy and received the left salpingectomy in September 2014. Intraoperative exploration showed a slightly enlarged retroverted uterus with a ...

Robotic positioning device for three-dimensional printing

Additive manufacturing brings a variety of new possibilities to the construction industry, extending the capabilities of existing fabrication methods whilst also creating new possibilities. Currently three-dimensional printing is used to produce small-scale objects; largescale three-dimensional printing is difficult due to the size of positioning devices and machine elements. Presently fixed Co...

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 ...
