Research on prosthesis customization with 3D modeling and printing technology

Abstract

With the development of science and technology and the maturity of technology, the application of 3D printing technology has developed from the art to the clinical medical treatment. Nowadays, the research and development and production of personalized customized orthopedic medical devices are possible, and the production line and supply chain of customized prostheses are constantly improving. The research on 3D printing and prosthesis customization technology is at the forefront of science. This article uses the method of literature review, reading, quoting, and summarizing several domestic and foreign professional experimental records and opinions, focusing on the history of 3D modeling and printing technology, the application method of this technology and the current clinical application of 3D modeling and printing technology. This paper puts forward reflection on the current shortcomings of the technology and my thinking and suggestions for future research. The conclusion of this paper is that 3D modeling and printing technology has played a great role in medical treatment, but there are still shortcomings in terms of cost and materials.
