Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is one of the Rapid Prototyping (RP) technologies. The 3D Printer has been widely used in the fabrication of 3D products. One of the main issues has been to obtain a high quality for the finished parts. The present study focuses on the effect of nozzle diameter in terms of pressure drop, geometrical error as well as extrusion time. While using polylactic acid (PLA) as a material, the research was conducted using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) by manipulating the nozzle diameter, and the pressure drop along the liquefier was observed. The geometrical error and printing time were also calculated by using different nozzle diameters. Analysis shows that the diameter of the nozzle significantly affects the pressure drop along the liquefier which influences the consistency of the road width thus affecting the quality of the product’s finish. The vital aspect is minimizing the pressure drop to be as low as possible, which will lead to a good quality final product. The results from the analysis demonstrate that a 0.2 mm nozzle diameter contributes the highest pressure drop, which is not within the optimum range. In this study, by considering several factors including pressure drop, geometrical error and printing time, a 0.3 mm nozzle diameter has been suggested as being in the optimum range for extruding PLA material using open-source 3D printing. The implication of this result is valuable for a better understanding of the melt flow behavior of the PLA material and for choosing the optimum nozzle diameter for 3D printing.

Three-dimensional printing is a rapidly developing area of technology and manufacturing in the field of oral surgery. The aim of this study was comparison of presurgical models made by two different types of three-dimensional (3D) printing technology. Digital reference models were printed 10 times using fused deposition modelling (FDM) and digital light processing (DLP) techniques. All 3D printed models were scanned using a technical scanner. The trueness, linear measurements, and printing time were evaluated. The diagnostic models were compared with the reference models using linear and mean deviation for trueness measurements with computer software. Paired t-tests were performed to compare the two types of 3D printing technology. A P value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. For FDM printing, all average distances between the reference points were smaller than the corresponding distances measured on the reference model. For the DLP models, the average distances in the three measurements were smaller than the original. Only one average distance measurement was greater. The mean deviation for trueness was 0.1775 mm for the FDM group and 0.0861 mm for the DLP group. Mean printing time for a single model was 517.6 minutes in FDM technology and 285.3 minutes in DLP. This study confirms that presurgical models manufactured with FDM and DLP technologies are usable in oral surgery. Our findings will facilitate clinical decision-making regarding the best 3D printing technology to use when planning a surgical procedure.

Abstract Purpose To comparethe effectiveness of the three-dimensional (3D) printing technology in the treatment of clavicularfracturebetween experienced and inexperienced orthopedic surgeons. Methods A total of 80 patients with clavicle fracture (from February 2017 to May 2021)were enrolled in our study. Patients were divided randomly into four groups: group A: Patients underwent low-dose CT scan and 3D models were printed before surgeries performed by inexperienced surgeons; group B: Standard-dose CT were taken and 3D models were printed before surgeries performed by experienced surgeons; group C and D: Standard-dose CT were taken in both groups, and the operations were performed differently by inexperienced (group C) and experienced (group D) surgeons. Operation time, blood loss, length of incision and number of intraoperative fluoroscopy were recorded. Results No statistically significant differences were found in age, gender, fracture site and fracture type (P value: 0.23–0.88).Group A showed shorter incision length and less intraoperative fluoroscopy times than group C and D (P value < 0.05). There were no significant differences in blood loss volume, incision length and number of intraoperative time between group A and group B (P value range: 0.11–0.28). The operation time of group A was no longer than that of group C and D (P value range: 0.11 and 0.24). Conclusion The surgical effectiveness of inexperienced surgeons who applied 3D printing technology before clavicular fracture operation were better than those of both inexperienced and experienced surgeons did not use preoperative 3D printing technology.

Insight Into

Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) is presently the most common utilized 3D printing technology. Since this printing technology makes the bodies anisotropic, therefore, investigate the process with different settings is worthwhile. Tensile test specimens of two plastics have been carried out to examine the mechanical properties. Polylactic acid (PLA) and High Temperature PLA (HT-PLA) are the used materials for this purpose. A total of seventy-two test pieces of the two used polymers were printed and evaluated. Three parameters were examined in twelve different settings when printing the tensile test specimens. The considered settings are; six raster directions, three build orientations and two filling factors. The differences in stress-strain curves, tensile strength values and elongation at break were compared among the tested samples. The broken specimens after the tensile test are illustrated, which gave insight into how the test pieces printed with different parameters were fractured. The optimum printing setting is represented at crossed 45/−45° raster direction, X orientation and 100 % fill factor, where the highest tensile strength of 59.7 MPa at HT-PLA and the largest elongation of about 3.5 % at PLA were measured.

New Diagnosis

The evolution of modern medicine, in its continuous developing process, is highly connected with the progress achieved in the medical branch of technology. Regarding the surgical specialties, the technological progress breakthroughs may determine the appearance of new diagnosis techniques, but also shape innovative treatments, leading to superior therapeutic results. In the surgical treatment as a whole, an essential role is played by the Medical Imagistics. They either offer the much-needed visual support in order to reach an accurate diagnosis, or guide the surgeon in choosing a certain type of intervention. The importance of Imagistics is indisputable. It has also been proven so in intraoperatory guidance and monitoring the patient in post-surgery. In the evolution of medical Imagistics, after the transition to digital imaging, followed by graphic 3D reconstructions based on CT and MRI data, we find ourselves contemporary with a new turning point announcing a technological revolution: the transition from virtual 3D models to tangible 3D replica. Since the beginning, the 3D printing technology has been of great importance to the field of medical research and, once the technique gained popularity, it became a modern tool for many medical specialties, in particular for cranio-maxillofacial surgery, orthopedics, oncology, neurosurgery. The 3D printing technology managed to transgress dated barriers by facilitating the manufacturing of implants or implement new treatments in regenerative medicine. The purpose of this original paper is to present our 3D printing work protocol and general conclusions after 5 years of implementing 3D printing in pediatric orthopedics.
