3D Printing – Next
•

Obama said (feb. 2013): "A once-shuttered warehouse is
now a state-of-the art lab where new workers are mastering
the 3-D printing that has the potential to revolutionize the
way we make almost everything“

“We can’t wait” initiative

Additive Manufacturing : Basic Principles
Advantages of using AM … try something new !
• Low-cost ability to easily try out ideas generates many
innovations
• AM has seen children returning to making things. From
digital into reality.
• Testing the market with an idea with small production
• Alows inventors to realize their inventions and test
their market


7

Additive Manufacturing : challenges
 Variety of materials still not vast enough
 Lack of precision on some technologies
 Machines still very pricy (industrial)

 Need of certification and qualification of materials & process
 Lack of surface quality and finishing
 Not suited for big series (automobile)

Surgical Cutting Templates – reimbursement problem

Surgical guides not reimbursed, but facts are:
-

1 min. in surgical theatre (estimated): 60€

-

Mean of orthopedic surgery duration: 5-12h (18k-44k€)

-

Surgical guide can reduce: 20-70% of the duration (TBC)

-

Surgical guide cost: 50-300€

-

Economy: estimated 3-30k€/surgery

What’s Bioprinting
process of printing biologically relevant materials (such as cells,
tissues, and biodegradable biomaterials) that will accomplish
one or more biological functions

•

One scaffold can be enough

Tube with structure mimicking vascular matrix

Rat implantation

Cell infiltration  differentiation  scaffold disapear  tissue restorated

39

Scaffolds + stem cells + growth factors = work better

Artificial kidney tissue

Artificial heart tissue
(Taylor, Minnesota, 2009)

Scaffolds come from animal washed for cells
