Modern medicine is rife with applications of 3D printing technologies. California-based Spinal Elements have developed一个方法for custom 3D printed surgical aids, and making pins out of medical grade PEKK and metalssuch as titaniumis now commonplace within fracture surgery.
随着3D打印技术由公司推广和开发方面的特定研究，我们很少会听到那些每天使用该技术在经营剧院中使用该技术的独立临床医生的消息。因此，3DPI决定与Bruno Gobbato博士联系 - 他说：
毫无疑问，3DPRINT的特殊材料（如骨替代品甚至生物骨）都是未来[…]羟基磷灰石（钙的一种矿物形式）[已经] [已经]已知的骨替代品[已经]数十年了。
关于外科医生
Dr. Gobbato is a specialist in the anatomy of shoulders and elbows. He first came across 3D printing in a YouTube video showing how 3D printed guides and models were used in to forearm correction surgery. After this he decided to print bones and was inspired to find how a hands-on approach to the structures outstripped his traditional study from 2D and 3D images.

从那时起，Gobbato博士已成为3D打印爱好者，与3D文件托管网站合作，开发其解剖模型的集合。
个人项目
他最全面的系列，超过350种骨科模型，可以找到Sketchfab.
此外，Gobbato博士还有Youtube channelof videos showing walkthrough of his digital models, and how the 3D printed versions fit together as a rehearsal for surgery.
3D打印3rd世界
在巴西，戈巴托博士告诉我们，创伤受伤，例如在车祸中受到的伤害，是第二个最常见的死亡原因。因此，创建这种独特裂缝的准确模型的能力对于患者的生存至关重要。他说，这是Gobbato博士的服务，他说‘Huge companies charge a lot for this kind of service. Other companies have this technology for high-end prothesis, which in 3rd-World countries is impossible to work with,’adding that:
My work is to share the knowledge [to] can create high-end surgeries using every material in every hospital in the world. [I want to show how] with a 300-dollar desktop printer and free-software we can plan, study and execute a masterpiece surgery using 3DPrinting.
The result of Dr. Gobbato’s love for the technology is inspiring, and we hope to hear more from him and other specialists adopting 3D printing in their work soon. Be sure to send us an email这里如果您有什么想分享的。
