Cardiovascular 3D Printing

Abstract

Using imaging data of human anatomy, 3D printing technology can be used for computer reconstruction. The data are the input for a 3D printer, and a structural model is constructed, which is convenient for direct visual inspection and operation [1]. Through more than twenty years of development, outstanding progress has been made in oral, maxillofacial, orthopedic, and plastic surgery and other disciplines. Moreover, 3D printing technology has been widely used in implant and tissue design, surgical planning, medical research, and medical education and as a training tool [2, 3]. Because it has broad development prospects, 3D printing has become an important new technology in the manufacturing industry of “Strategic Emerging Industries Classification (2018)” issued by the National Bureau of Statistics.
