“…The 3D printing technology has already brought about big improvements in various fields of medicine, especially orthopaedics [5–7] and also thoracic surgery [8–11]. This study used 3D printing technology, preoperative CT thin-layer scanning, reconstruction of 3D models based on scan results, and preparation of rib models using 3D printing techniques.…”

Background To investigate the application of 3D printing technology combined with percutaneous Minimally Invasive Plate Oseoynthesis (MIPO) and thoracoscopic techniques in the treatment of long comminuted rib fractures. Case presentation One case of multiple rib fractures with abnormal respiratory disease (including rib 3 and 4 of long comminuted fractures) due to a fall injury was selected. The 3D model of comminuted rib fracture was reconstructed and printed according to the thin-layer CT scan results. After the fracture model was restored to the normal rib anatomy, the metal plate was accurately shaped according to the 3D rib shape. Conclusions 3D printing technology combined with MIPO technology under thoracoscopy in the minimally invasive treatment of long-range comminuted rib fractures, greatly reduced the time and improved the accuracy of intraoperative fixation, reduced the difficulty of surgery, patient injury, and perfectly reconstructed the chest wall. Application of the 3D printing technique to make the rib model and pre-mold the metal plate combined the thoracoscopic MIPO technology provides less invasive and accurate individualized treatment for complex rib fractures.

“… 85 Considering bioprinting, this enables the generation and transplantation of tissues, including multilayered skin, bone, vascular grafts, tracheal splints, heart tissue, and cartilaginous structure. 56 According to Morris, 86 if a transplant has to be performed, the three‐dimensional biological printing could save thousands of lives without the need to involve the donor.…”

State of the art in additive manufacturing and its possible chemical and particle hazards—review

Additive manufacturing, enabling rapid prototyping and so‐called on‐demand production, has become a common method of creating parts or whole devices. On a 3D printer, real objects are produced layer by layer, thus creating extraordinary possibilities as to the number of applications for this type of devices. The opportunities offered by this technique seem to be pushing new boundaries when it comes to both the use of 3D printing in practice and new materials from which the 3D objects can be printed. However, the question arises whether, at the same time, this solution is safe enough to be used without limitations, wherever and by everyone. According to the scientific reports, three‐dimensional printing can pose a threat to the user, not only in terms of physical or mechanical hazards, but also through the potential emissions of chemical substances and fine particles. Thus, the presented publication collects information on the additive manufacturing, different techniques, and ways of printing with application of diverse raw materials. It presents an overview of the last 5 years’ publications focusing on 3D printing, especially regarding the potential chemical and particle emission resulting from the use of such printers in both the working environment and private spaces.

“…Furthermore, addressing the ethical, social and regulatory issues concerning bioprinting still needs to be completed before implementing bioprinting in everyday clinical practice [106,114]. For efficient patient management, bioprinting needs to become commercially viable and safe [115]. Through 5-year anticipated advances, overall medical costs could be reduced using printing technology [108].…”
