“…Metal additive manufacturing can be used to manufacture implants intended to replace parts of the mandible, maxilla (Harrysson et al, 2015;Julius et al, 2017;Nickels, 2018), the skull and the appendicular skeleton (Harrysson et al, 2015;Vladimir et al, 2019). In this case, the main indications for ostectomy are severe trauma, bone tumors, infections and congenital malformations.…”

Three-dimensional printing, which appeared in the 1980s and has been steadily improving ever since, is a new and very promising technology. Thanks to its unique process of depositing material layer by layer, it differentiates itself from the rest of the traditional methods of modeling by molding and removing material. Modeling by adding material allows 3D printing to create parts with very complex geometries, and even with unprecedented precision. This last characteristic allows it to be used in many sectors including aviation, automotive, production but also science, education and medicine. With regard to these latter fields of application, printing by adding material is for some authors a real revolution. For modeling learning and training mockups, manufacturing custom prostheses, or printing biological and functional organs, the range of possible uses for 3D printing seems immense and very promising. In this study, we invite you to discover the main applications of the 3D printer in veterinary medicine

“…PB-AM representing a wide range of fabrication techniques commonly known as 3D-printing is already successfully used in industry, for example in aerospace and automotive applications, and in bio-medicine [9][10][11][12]. However, despite increasing interest the use of this technique specifically for veterinary, applications like veterinary orthotics, prosthetics, reconstructive and bone replacement surgery are just developing, which is reflected in relatively small number of publications describing comparatively small number of veterinary cases [13][14][15][16][17]. The same time, prospects of veterinary AM applications are very wide, especially for socalled organ-sparing surgery.…”

Additive manufacturing to veterinary practice: recovery of bony defects after the osteosarcoma resection in canines

The paper outlines the achievements and challenges in the additive manufacturing (AM) application to veterinary practice. The state-of-the-art in AM application to the veterinary surgery is presented, with the focus of AM for patient-specific implants manufacturing. It also provides critical discussion on some of the potential issues design and technology should overcome for wider and more effective implementation of additively manufactured parts in veterinary practices. Most of the discussions in present paper are related to the metallic implants, manufactured in this case using so-called powder bed additive manufacturing (PB-AM) in titanium alloy Ti-6AL-4V, and to the corresponding process of their design, manufacturing and implementation in veterinary surgery. Procedures of the implant design and individualization for veterinary surgery are illustrated basing on the four performed surgery cases with dog patients. Results of the replacement surgery in dogs indicate that individualized additively manufactured metallic implants significantly increase chances for successful recovery process, and AM techniques present a viable alternative to amputation in a large number of veterinary cases. The same time overcoming challenges of implant individualization in veterinary practice significantly contributes to the knowledge directly relevant to the modern medical practice. An experience from veterinary cases where organ-preserving surgery with 3D-printed patientspecific implants is performed provides a unique opportunity for future development of better human implants.
