One day in 2014, the operating room in a hospital in Chongqing doctors constantly shining model of facial bones were next to a patient for surgery to repair. After the patient was admitted to the hospital immediately called several experts to discuss how to treat, after long discussions several experts are still unable to start, the patient's condition gradually deteriorated, surgery may be life-threatening to drag, but the surgery with little grasp of the odds. Desperate one expert gave a proposal: Help surgery using a 3D printer.
The patient how exactly? Had a few hours before the first car accident, the patient's face in front of the direct hit hard, resulting in a large area of facial fractures. In CT figure can only see a partial fracture of the bone, bone fracture is difficult to judge the length of the offset distance, the size of the debris and other issues, the exhaustion of all the advanced equipment preparation requires hospitals are difficult to achieve before the surgery, the surgery does not lead to from the start.
When he learned that we "ZBOT" 3D printer can put out the CT scan data printed out, the hospital sent us the data, based on CT data we use "ZBOT" 3D printer to the patient's skull 1: 1 size print. Hospital to get 1: 1 after three-dimensional model of the skull's status at a glance, and even many in the CT location is difficult to see the figure can clearly see that, with the help of three-dimensional model of progress was particularly successful surgery .
