3D printing
  1. Brief Introduction of Achievements

This achievement is China's first commercial system that applies 3D printing technology to the field of orthopedic external fixation. It is also the world's first instant printing and cloud service platform that meets clinical standards, filling the technical gap in this field. It uses polymer skin-friendly materials to achieve lightweight, breathable and waterproof design, perfectly fits the affected area and avoids the wound, which is significantly better than traditional plaster or splints. Through intelligent processes, it only takes 40 seconds for data collection, 2 minutes for model processing and 10-30 minutes for printing, and the manual participation time is shortened to 2-3 minutes, greatly improving the efficiency of diagnosis and treatment. The product serves patients with fracture reduction, deformity correction and postoperative rehabilitation, and has been used in tertiary hospitals in batches, benefiting nearly 10,000 patients in total. Its precise reduction characteristics can reduce the risk of complications, and as a Class B medical insurance fee item, it can reduce the burden on patients. This technological breakthrough solves the pain point of slow traditional 3D printing, marking the entry of orthopedic external fixation into the era of personalized instant customization.


  1. Application fields

This achievement is mainly used in the field of orthopedic external fixation. Through real-time 3D printing technology, personalized external fixation braces are provided for patients with fractures and bone diseases, covering multiple departments such as trauma orthopedics, spinal surgery, and sports medicine, meeting clinical real-time needs and personalized customization requirements.


  1. Market prospects

The orthopedic real-time 3D printing external fixation brace system independently developed in this achievement can achieve personalized customization, fast printing, and product fit and use for patient rehabilitation, which can better meet market needs. There are 29,000 public orthopedic hospitals above Grade II A in my country, 2,000 private orthopedic hospitals and affiliated hospitals.
