    Source: China Pharmaceutical News, June 14, 2013 "as a pioneering technology, 3D printing technology will have a profound impact on the medical industry." Recently at the "2013 World 3D printing technology industry conference" held in Beijing, experts at home and abroad said so Welcome the participation of 600 authoritative experts and insiders from 3D printing industry in various countries in the rapid development period, which makes the conference full of "gold content" The world 3D printing technology industry alliance was established at the same time, and issued the "2013 World 3D printing technology industry development (Beijing) declaration" Professor Shi Yusheng, who is the earliest expert in the research and development of industrial 3D printing technology in China, told the media that China's manufacturing output value ranks the first in the world If we want to maintain an advantageous position for a long time, it is difficult to continue relying on traditional technology, we must rely on advanced technology such as 3D printing He also said that in China's manufacturing industry, 3D printing technology is one of those that can be at the same level as the world from the initial stage With the launch of a series of national science and technology support programs, domestic 3D printing equipment will gradually keep pace with the international level in terms of reliability, material performance and variety It is understood that in the "national high technology research and development plan (863 plan) and the national science and technology support plan 2014 alternative project collection guide for manufacturing field" issued in April this year, "3D printing key technology and equipment development" will be selected, and will receive no more than 40 million yuan of state funding support Analysts pointed out that this reflects the national level of attention, the domestic 3D printing industry will usher in a period of rapid development Zhou Gongyao, vice president of China 3D printing technology industry alliance and professor of Drexel University, said at the meeting that 3D printing is widely used in biomedical fields, such as manufacturing medical models, in vitro medical devices, personalized and permanent implanted tissue engineering products, biopolymer materials, etc "3D printing technology has certain advantages in manufacturing cell culture scaffold and implantable medical equipment products Because each patient's height, weight and organ size are different, and 3D printing can meet the personalized application, which is a promising aspect of the technology " The head of a biomedical company in China said in a speech at the conference It is reported that the world's first commercial 3D bio printer was jointly launched by two medical technology companies in the United States and Australia in 2010 Unlike traditional inkjet printers, 3D bio printers use "bio ink" that contains living cells In the printing process, it first uses "bio ink" to print out a layer of cell tissue structure, then according to the 3D digital model to Overlay "spray", gradually forming a three-dimensional cell tissue structure, and finally obtaining the required artificial organs or tissues Foreign scientists have successfully produced "bionic ear" which can receive radio waves by using 3D bio printer Researchers say that if 3D printing technology can really achieve mass production of artificial organs, the problem of organ donation shortage will be solved Although on the surface, 3D printing industry is hot, but the public still lack of in-depth understanding of 3D printing technology Luo Jun, CEO of Asia Manufacturing Association and Secretary General of the world 3D printing technology industry alliance, said at the meeting that 3D printing technology, as a leading and new technology, has a subversive significance and role in the process transformation of traditional manufacturing industry and the wide application of new materials, and is recognized by all countries in the world However, 3D printing technology is widely used in the world The industrialization of printing technology still needs a long process.
