British surgeons using 3D-printing technology for surgery for the reconstruction of the patient's face, the victim of an accident. Undamaged part of the person would take as a basis for "printing" damaged.

3D-technology is often called the future of medicine, because even their modern use is already producing fantastic results. One can only imagine what the doctors will achieve in the next 10-20 years, when these technologies from experimental become traditional. At the hospital, Morriston Hospital, located in Wales, Dr Adrian Sugar leads projects using "special effects" to create titanium implants.

With the help of 3D-printing surgeons conduct
facial reconstruction Victims of road accidents. Printing is needed in order to comply with the facial symmetry, because one part of the patient's face was disfigured in the accident, while the second remained relatively healthy. It will form the basis for mirroring and the subsequent use of a unique 3D-printer Additive Manufacturing.

First image of the healthy parts of the face to boot into your computer, then the program will do the exact mirror copy, and 3D-printer will print the necessary operations for implants made of titanium. In addition, the technology provides surgeons detailed guidance about how to carry out the processing and reposition the facial bones with exceptional precision arithmetic. After the procedure the patient's face is perfectly symmetrical - without any distortions at one time or another.
Implants are made of specially created for the titanium medicine in Belgium, where one of the world's first plant for this 3D-printing. (READ MORE)
