Different from reduction manufacturing and equal
manufacturing, 3D printing is an additive manufacturing method, which
transforms 3D model into 2D cross-section data to form entity layer by layer. This
makes its processing not limited by complexity of the design model and number
of the manufacturing products. It is very suitable for the medical field with
high customization requirements. In fact, application of 3D printing technology
in the medical field is particularly noticeable. In this paper, application and
development of 3D printing technology are
reviewed in medical model, rehabilitation equipment, tissue engineering,
medical hygiene materials, lab-on-chip. Its applications include medical
education, surgical planning, prosthesis customization, tissue culture and
biosensor manufacturing and so on. Its wide application is due to its digital model,
which makes the whole manufacturing process easier to digitize, so it is more
conductive to updating and customization of products via 3D printing.
