The advantage of 3D printing is that it can be perfectly customized for its users. And for the first time in Korea, doctors have successfully implanted a 3D-printed heel bone into a patient suffering from tumor. Kim Hye-sung reports. Grey titanium sculpted using state-of-the-art 3D printing technology. As highly-pressurized air is pumped into the box, you can see the implant taking shape. With a CT scan, a 3D implant design, and a laser beam to melt the titanium, a skull is created. Using conventional surgery methods, this young man would have had to wait for an unspecified amount of time to find suitable bone tissue or even have his foot amputated. But armed with the 3D printer,... the medical team was able to make a heel bone for him in just two weeks.
"The heel bone is strong enough to support the patient's weight and it perfectly fits his anatomy, significantly lowering the possibility of a complication developing down the line."
Korea is currently leading the way in applying 3D technology and was the first country in the world to approve the use of 3D printed cranium implants for surger
ies. "So far this year, more than one-hundred 3D printed implant surgeries have been performed in Korea. One such surgery was done on a 16-year-old girl who developed a tumor on her pelvis in 2015."
The 3D-printed pelvic bone, cut the surgery time in half,... to FOUR hours, speeding up the patient's recovery time and enabling her to walk within a week of the surgery, instead of the usual four-week period.
"This is an X-ray that was taken of Ms. Kang last month. You can see the ligaments have grown out and is perfectly attached to the implanted pelvic bone, meaning the surgery was a success."
As the number of successful surgeries rises, the use of 3D printing for medical applications is expected to grow even further. But, the 3D printing market is still in its infancy,... and due to a lack of insurance policies is ten times more expensive than conventional surgeries. Doctors also add that patients also need to be closely monitored in case there are any unknown long-term consequences.

三维打印的优点是，它可以被完全定制它的用户。
而在韩国第一次，医生们成功地植入了3D打印跟骨成肿瘤的患者。
金惠晟报告。 采用先进设备，最先进的3D打印技术的钛灰色雕刻。 由于高度加压空气抽入禁区，你可以看到植入初具雏形。 用CT扫描，一个三维植入物设计，并且激光束以熔化钛，创建一个头骨。
使用传统的手术方法，这个年轻人将不得不等待未指定的时间量，以寻找合适的骨组织，甚至有他的脚被截肢。 但随着3D打印机的武装，......医疗队能够使脚跟骨为他在短短的两个星期。
“脚跟骨的强度足以支持患者的体重和它完全符合他的解剖学，显著降低并发症显影向下行的可能性。”
韩国目前正领导在应用3D技术的方式，是第一个国家在世界上批准手术使用3D打印颅骨植入物。
“今年到目前为止，有超过一百3D打印植入手术已经在韩国进行。这样一个手术是在一个16岁的女孩谁在2015年制定了关于她的骨盆肿瘤做” 三维打印骨盆骨，切手术时间缩短了一半，......四个小时，加快了患者的恢复时间，使她在手术后一周内行走，而不是通常的四周内。
“这是在上月采取了康女士的X射线，可以看到韧带已经长大了，并完美地连接到植入骨盆骨，这意味着手术取得了成功。”
由于成功的手术数量的增加，使用3D打印为医疗应用有望进一步增长。 但是，在3D印刷市场尚处于起步阶段，......以及由于缺乏保险的十倍比传统手术更昂贵。 医生还补充说，患者也需要在情况进行密切监测有任何未知的长期后果。
