Switzerland uses 3D printing to create the first software artificial heart-EBY



In recent years, 3D printing technology for the medical field has brought many changes. Recently, according to foreign media reports, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology doctoral student Nicholas Cole (Nicholas Cohrs) led the team using 3D printing technology to create the world's first software artificial heart. It is reported that the current pump for the blood of artificial heart pumps and other devices still exist many shortcomings, such as metal and plastic materials difficult to integrate with the organ organization, its unnatural movement will also cause some damage to the blood, so scientists have been Trying to create a more close to the human heart of the artificial heart pump to ensure the safety of blood delivery, and 3D printing technology to solve the problem provides a new direction.
According to reports, the Nicholas team to create a soft artificial heart although the structure is not exactly the same with the heart, but its silicon ventricular pumping mechanism and human is very similar, and the whole heart is basically a closed whole, so do not worry about different How the internal mechanisms are combined. At present, this artificial heart is still in the testing phase, can be half an hour or so in time to complete the work, and this technology is expected to be in clinical applications in the future.
Print technology has the inherent advantages in manufacturing, and with the development of related materials technology, printing technology in many areas will have broad prospects.-EBY toner Cartridge

Mike McCue: Flipboard Brings Beauty Of Print Onto The Web

图片
If you haven't caught up, Flipboard is a new iPad app that has the geek crowd raving. Michele Norris spoke to Flipboard CEO Mike McCue. The app brings the beauty of print, as McCue puts it, to the social content of the Web. McCue, a Silicon Valley veteran, was one of the founders of Tellme, a company that specializes in voice-based programs like the ones used for directory assistance services. The company was sold to Microsoft for $800 million. Now, he has great expectations for his "social magazine." And he talks a little a bit about the business model for Flipboard, which, he says, will likely look a lot like that of an old school business — the publishing world. Listen to the whole interview above. This, by the way, is the first in a series of conversations with tech CEOs. Who would you like to hear from next?

Morriston Hospital rebuilds cancerous jaws with 3D printing

图片
A surgical team at Swansea's Morriston Hospital has created a technique to reconstruct jaws affected by cancer using 3D printing, said to be one of the first of its kind in the world. The method uses 3D printed titanium implants that are anatomically specific to the patient. Store worker Debbie Hawkins from Swansea was the first patient to have the "amazing" procedure. Surgeons rebuilt a section of her jawbone after she developed a tumour. The technique combines traditional bone grafts with 3D printed titanium implants that can be created to fit an individual patient's anatomy. Ms Hawkins said: "When they told me what the procedure involved I was scared at first. I really didn't know what to expect. But what they have done, and the aftercare I have received, has been absolutely amazing". She was in hospital for just two weeks after her operation in August last year, which also used 3D technology to plan the operation in advance. She was able to ...
