3D Printed Scapula Customized for Patient: The Cool Parts Show #25

#3Dprinting #manufacturing
Bespoke surgical implants are among the promises of additive manufacturing (AM). Unique 3D printed implants based on precise 3D measurements of the patient ensure that the implant is a perfect fit, and also enable certain surgeries that might not otherwise be possible. In this episode of The Cool Parts Show, we look at a successful example: a 3D printed scapula replacing that of a patient whose own scapula was afflicted with a tumor.

The new scapula was designed according to data from a CT scan of the original bone. Join us as we hear from the surgeon who embraced 3D printing, Dr. Joseph Benevenia; the implant specialist who designed the scapula, OrthoTiN; and Amplify Additive, the specialist in electron beam melting (EBM) that 3D printed the custom scapula replacement.
