Abstract

Additive manufacturing technology, also known as 3D printing technology, as a rapid prototyping technology, its emergence and growing maturity promote the emergence and commercial development of individualized medical implants. Because of the uniqueness of technology, it is necessary to study the quality control of 3D printing medical devices from the whole process, including raw materials, process validation, equipment, data transmission and risk management. The macro-size of the implant and the physiological environment of the defect to be repaired are organically combined to achieve personalized matching therapy and the adjustability of complex microstructures, improve its biomechanical compatibility, slow down the stress shielding of the implant site, and construct a good osseointegration at the bone-implant interface. Strengthen the supervision of the bidding, procurement, acceptance, storage, use, charging, registration and other aspects of orthopedic implanTable medical devices, and establish a standardized and institutionalized management process. The use of additive manufacturing technology to complete the design and manufacture of complex medical device structures, and more and more treatment cases to meet special needs, orthopedic implanTable medical devices based on additive manufacturing technology have gradually become a hot spot in medical research One.
