Abstract
Abstract: Thre e-dimensional (3D) printing is an emerging technology that expanded quickly into a diverse array of clinical applications over the last decade. 3D printing, often called additive manufacturing, uses specialized printers to create objects through the addition of materials layer-by-layer. Using computer-aided design software via a 3D scanner or a digital camera, objects can be printed to highly precise and specific dimensions. This technology, including both the hardware and software, has applications in surgical procedures, dental implants and crowns, pharmaceuticals, and biomedical products. With the enormous potential of using 3D printing in multiple health care sectors, there is still limited usage for this technology in maternal and child health nursing practice. We provide an overview of 3D printing technology, review the current health care applications, and explore the opportunities and challenges of 3D printing in maternal and child nursing.
期刊介绍：
MCN''s mission is to provide the most timely, relevant information to nurses practicing in perinatal, neonatal, midwifery, and pediatric specialties. MCN is a peer-reviewed journal that meets its mission by publishing clinically relevant practice and research manuscripts aimed at assisting nurses toward evidence-based practice. MCN focuses on today''s major issues and high priority problems in maternal/child nursing, women''s health, and family nursing with extensive coverage of advanced practice healthcare issues relating to infants and young children.
Each issue features peer-reviewed, clinically relevant articles. Coverage includes updates on disease and related care; ideas on health promotion; insights into patient and family behavior; discoveries in physiology and pathophysiology; clinical investigations; and research manuscripts that assist nurses toward evidence-based practices.
