The world's first cancer patient successfully implanted 3D printed sternum and ribs

Release date: 2015-09-21

A Spanish chest rib tumor patient was successfully implanted in Australia to produce 3D printed titanium ribs and sternum.

This patient is the world's first rib implanted in 3D printing. The Australian Science and Industry Research Organization (CSIRO) said the project was completed by a $1.3 million machine that was delivered to a Spanish surgeon upon completion.

In addition, CISIRO's manufacturing research leader Alex Kingsbury told reporters that the process is a delicate process, and each layer of the prosthesis is completed at the same time before the final integration.

Kingsbury also said that the most anticipated method of 3D printing implant surgery, because it can meet the individual needs of patients, no one's body is the same.

Due to the risk of traditional manufacturing artificial ribs, Spanish surgeons contact Australian medical equipment company Anatomics, which is developing individualized implantable joints for patients.

CISIRO confirmed that the patient has been discharged and is in good condition and will recover within two weeks after surgery.

Manufacturing prostheses through 3D printing is a more accurate method of replicating the body's mechanisms, which is becoming increasingly popular in the medical community.

Dr. Mia Wooddruff, an expert in 3D printing at Queensland University of Technology, told reporters that it is important for surgeons to understand the manufacturing process and the type of stent needed to replicate the human body. In the future, when a patient enters a hospital, the doctor scans it first and then prints it on the console.

Greenhouse Hydroponic System

Hydroponics is a subset of hydroculture, the method of growing plants without soil, using mineral nutrient solutions in a water solvent. Terrestrial plants may be grown with only their roots exposed to the mineral solution, or the roots may be supported by an inert medium, such as perlite or gravel. The nutrients in hydroponics can come from an array of different sources; these can include but are not limited to waste from fish waste, duck manure, or normal nutrients.
