Use of 3D printing to the patients, doctors replaced Pakistan: anything can change in the future-3D printing-IT information
Man-made and natural disasters, people living in the world is always going to encounter some unexpected event. Some just got more scared, and some will let you kill, some will make your disability. However, after entering the medical field in 3D printing, all of this will be greatly different.
Recently adopted 3D printing on another doctor to help repair in patients with physical disabilities. The patients treated with substituted BA called Sydney Anderson (Shirley Anderson), his distant 18 years ago, in 1998, he found his tongue up the deadly tumors.
In order to cure this disease, Anderson has put up all kinds of surgery and radiation treatment, he had the surgery, doctors destroy their facial structures, into Radium jaw. Doctors cut away his chest muscles to rebuild his jaw, but failed ... ... He'll never lose his chin.
After that, Anderson eating and speaking is mission impossible. Lose Chin Anderson had to use a mask to hide his true face. Speak, he can only rely on with a whiteboard for writing to communicate with people.
And he lost 80 pounds in just three months. When his health was more mellow ... ....
The pain lasted for years, and only come in 2012 when things turn for the better. He met doctor telaweisi·beierqi (Travis Bellicchi), he is a Indiana University School of dentistry and maxillofacial prosthesis specialist.
Belch Anderson, doctors began making artificial jaw. The jaw using the traditional production process – Anderson sit good, doctors spend several hours on his face cast, still breathing through a straw.
Even so hard jaw is made is not practical. Because it was so uncomfortable, so Anderson took the false jaw cannot be more than 4 hours at a time, and it is too heavy, often fall down.
Because the Chin is too impractical, that Belch doctors decide! For a new way to make the jaw!
This time he chose the silicone instead of gypsum, facial scans with a 3D scanner and 3D modeling facial model, 3D printers, finally found the artist decorated with special fuel to this fake Chin, making it more realistic. All the manufacturing process is very easy, the process did not cause additional suffering for patients.
Here are Andersen after the new image!
New Chin was comfortable to wear, and it looks even more realistic, but also much lighter and more breathable, this makes it easier for Anderson to breathe, wear them for longer. This time, Anderson received a more convenient Chin, and Belch doctors decided to use his name this way--"The Shirley Technique".
Anderson said he had not to pay attention to what you have lost, but what concerns they have. Indeed he has something a lot of people are not now, a whole new JAWS 3D printing, there is one named after his treatment.
In addition to Anderson, now this also applies to the other six patients who believe in the future it will allow more people to benefit from.
In 2014, the Peking University research team for some 12-year old little boy into the 3D printed spine; in March, Wales's research team created a 3D model of the skull to help restore damaged in a car accident looks in 2015, when Spain completes its first 3D print sternum, rib implants.
These are success stories of 3D printing technology in the medical field.
3D printing can accurately replicate the body of skin, organs, bones, even visceral. In some parts of our body when damaged, we can rely on 3D printing to replace it, do not need to tolerate incomplete self.
Perhaps one day, through this technology, we can even print your own.

3D打印给患者换下巴：未来啥都能换 -
3D打印 - IT资讯
天灾人祸，反正人生活在这个世界免不了会遇到一些意料之外的事故。有些只是受了些惊吓，又些则会让你直接丧命，也有一些会让你身体残缺。不过在3D打印技术进入医疗领域后，这一切将会大大的不同。
在最近就又有一个医生通过了3D打印技术，帮助患者修复了身体残缺。这位接受换下巴治疗的患者叫雪梨·安德森（Shirley Anderson），他在遥远的18年前，也就是1998年的时候，他不幸地发现自己舌头上涨了致命肿瘤。
为了治好这个病，安德森一直忍受各种手术和放射性治疗，他还接受了手术，让医生破坏自己的面部结构，把镭植入到下巴。医生切走了他的胸部肌肉来重建他的下巴，但失败了……他永远失去了自己的下巴。
在那之后，安德森吃饭和讲话都是不可能完成的任务。失去了下巴的安德森只好用口罩来掩饰自己真实面容。至于说话，他只能靠手持白板来写字跟人交流。
而且他在短短的三个月里掉了80磅。看看他健康的时候是多圆润啊……
这样的痛苦持续了好几年，在2012年的时候事情才迎来转机。他认识了医生特拉维斯·贝尔奇（Travis Bellicchi），他是印第安纳大学牙医学院的一名颌面修复专家。
贝尔奇医生开始给安德森制作的人工下巴。这个下巴采用了传统的制作工艺——安德森要乖乖坐好，等医生花好几个小时在他脸上抹石膏，还要用吸管呼吸。
即使如此艰难，制作出来的下巴还是很不实用。因为它实在太不舒服了，所以安德森每次带这个假下巴都无法超过4个小时，而且它实在是太重了，经常滑落下来。
因为这个下巴实在太不实用了，以至于贝尔奇医生决定！换一个全新的方式来制作这个下巴！
这次他选择了硅胶来代替石膏，用3D扫描仪进行面部扫描，然后3D建模出面部模型，再用3D打印机打印出来，最后还找了艺术家用特殊燃料来修饰这个假下巴，把它变得更逼真。一切制作工艺都很便捷，过程也没有给患者带来额外的痛苦。
下面就是安德森获得新生后的模样！
新的下巴戴起来舒服了许多，它看起来更加逼真，而且也轻得多也更透气，这让安德森更容易呼吸，每次戴的时间也更长。这次，安德森获得了一个更加便利的下巴，而且贝尔奇医生还决定用他的名字命名这个治疗方式—— “The Shirley Technique”。
安德森表示，他现在已经不去关注自己失去了什么，而是关注自己拥有了什么。的确他现在拥有了很多人都没有的东西，一个3D打印的全新下巴，还有一个以他的名字命名的治疗方式。
除了安德森，现在这一方案还运用到了其他六名患者身上，相信未来它还会让更多人受益。
在2014年，北京大学研究团队就成功为12岁的小男孩植入了3D打印脊椎；同年3月，威尔士的研究团队制作了3D头骨模型，帮助患者恢复车祸中受损的容貌；2015年的时候西班牙就完成了首例3D打印胸骨、肋骨植入手术。
这些都是3D打印技术在医学领域的成功案例。
3D打印能够精准地复制出人体的皮肤、器官、骨骼，甚至是内脏。在我们身体上某个零部件损坏的时候，我们就能靠3D打印来进行替换，不需要在忍受残缺的自己。
或许终有一天，我们甚至能够通过这个技术来打印一个自己。
