The 3D printing is a evolving
technology yet, since it foundation several objects printed out, even body
parts and now a new Medical miracle happen in Germany an entire Skull is added
to 3D printed body parts list including a fingertip, hand, eyes, arm, jaw. A 22
year old Dutch woman nearly dead needed a new skull to replace the existed so
an Australian company 3D printed a plastic skull at Utrecht University's
University Medical Center in Netherlands. The operation took 23 hours to put
the skull on to head and now she’s return to work and hard to find that she
ever had any surgery. Before the operation, the woman head were too large and
abnormal, and thickness put too much pressure on her brain which causes her unconsciousness
and headaches.
Cnet posted “Implants used to be made by hand in the operating theater using a sort
of cement which was far from ideal, Verweij said of the procedure, according to
Dutch News. Using 3D printing we can make one to the exact size. This not only
has great cosmetic advantages, but patients' brain function often recovers better
than using the old method. Verweiji says that although portions of skulls
have been swapped out in the past, this is the first time an entire cranium has
been replaced in a patient. And I bet this is the first time you've ever seen a
plastic skull get attached to a real live brain.”
The 3D printing technology is evolving
and many expert companies in the fields have raised millions to develop and Sharpe
it more. Several 3D printed items in the list which are slightly bigger then we
can imagine.
