Description
Summary:Additive manufacturing (3D printing) technology aligns with the direction of precision and customization in future medicine, presenting a significant opportunity for innovative development in high-end medical devices. Currently, research and industrialization of 3D printed medical devices mainly focus on nondegradable implants and degradable implants. Primary areas including metallic orthopaedic implants, polyether-ether-ketone (PEEK) bone implants, and biodegradable implants have been developed for clinical and industrial application. Recent research achievements in these areas are reviewed, with a discussion on the additive manufacturing technologies and applications for customized implants. Challenges faced by different types of implants are analyzed from technological, application, and regulatory perspectives. Furthermore, prospects and suggestions for future development are outlined.
