It is a special powerpoint with pictures and gifs, so that you can make a more dynamic presentation.

1. 3D PRINTER
MARÍA VILLALBA RODRIGO

2. INTRODUCTION
▣ Additive Manufacturing (ADDITIVE PROCESS)
▣ Lay down successive layers of material
▣ Digital File → 3D Solid Object
▣ Use of thermoplastics (ABS)

4. 3D MODELING
▣ 3D models are created with a
computer aided design (CAD)
▣ Similar to sculping
▣ 3D scanning
▣ 3D Slicing (STL file)

7. ADVANTAGES
▣ 10 times faster
▣ 5 times cheaper
▣ Small, safe, easy to use.
▣ Universities
CHARACTERISTICS
DISADVANTAGES
▣ Inferior models vs RP machine
▣ Choice of materials reduce
▣ Colors are crude
▣ Texture not reflect the finish

8. MEDICAL
APPLICATION
Doctors where
among the earliest
people to explore
3D printing.

9. 3D PRINTING OF RADIOGRAPHIC IMAGES
 Two dimensional radiographic
images can be converted into
3D print files.
 Create complex customized
anatomical and medical
structures

10. CREATION OF TISSUE
AND ORGANS
▣ Bioprinting with layers of
living cells
▣ Advantages: highly precise
cell placement and control of
speed, resolution, cell
concentration, etc.

11. CUSTOMIZE PROTHETICS
 Cheaper and faster
 Use of scanning for
more suitable result
 Dentral, spinal and
hip implants
 99% hearing implants

12. PATIENT-SPECIFIC SURGICAL MODELS
▣ Practice complicate surgeries
▣ It is preferable that to train with
cadavers
▣ 2D scans not instructive enough
▣ Dubai´s operation

13. SURGICAL TOOLS
13
 Minimal tool to generate less
trauma
 Customize for specific patients
 Children
