- Physical appearance is important to many people; if part of someone's face is missing, whether due to trauma or cancer, it is easy to understand how difficult this can be. Using 3D colour printing technology and working in collaboration with Fripp Design and Research, the University of Sheffield has been leading the adoption of AM technology to produce customised soft-tissue facial prostheses at a much reduced cost; making it accessible to any patient anywhere in the world.
This film explores how this technology -- which has never been used for this sort of application before -- has the potential to revolutionise the facial rebuilding industry.
Glad you like it Steve. The films shows a great example of a university/industry collaboration.
Very well done video, exploring all the sides of the story: the need, the research, funding and grants that bring steady income for years, and a good solution.
I miss the infiltration step with the biocompatible coating.
Separating the 3D capturing from the colour image capturing for later mapping is very intelligent.
I am obviously biased, but a great project managed by Neil Frewer at Fripp Design and Research.
great work. salute!!!
very interesting and successful presentation of the subject
Thank you
Hello Sir...I'm a dental technician in Botswana..what cadcam equipment and materials are used on 3D printer
This is incredible work! Is there currently a printer on the market that prints such biograde material or was this developed inhouse?
How do I contact someone to discuss my case?
Hi - What design programme are you using to join the scanned body part to the stock item? And what scanner do you use? thanks
Proffessor Van Noort has an excellent technology soft tissue prosstheses.
