3D打印技术(three dimensional printing technology)是一种新型制造技术,愈发广泛应用于各行各业。3D打印可以将三维成像技术与材料制造相结合,辅助构造以金属、陶瓷、复合材料甚至细胞为基础支架的模型或生物组织。目前,在眼科学领域,这项技术可以辅助制造眼球模型、眼镜、眶骨组织、显微手术器械等,将来可实现“生物打印”,构建眼球屈光系统组件,这使其在眼科学有巨大的发展前景。本文就该技术在眼科领域应用现状和应用前景进行探讨。
Tree-dimensional (3D) printing technique is a new manufacturing technique, which has been used nearly in all fields of science. 3D printing combines 3D imaging technology and materials manufacture, to constructs biological tissue from metal, ceramics and composite materials, with living cells, so that it has great development prospects in the ophthalmology. In this paper, applications and the prospect of this technique in ophtralmology are discussed.
