Additive manufacturing (AM) has demonstrated the potential to revolutionize manufacturing for various applications across the medical, aerospace, automobile, and energy sectors. It is a layer-by-layer manufacturing process in which the computer-aided design model is sliced into layers and each layer is deposited successively to realize the final product. This article provides a general overview of AM and discusses current state-of-the-art AM methodologies as they apply to total joint arthroplasty. Specifically, details on their applications and current challenges are summarized to provide orthopedic surgeons with a basic understanding of current and potential applications of AM in total joint arthroplasty.
增材制造(AM)已展现出在医疗、航空航天、汽车和能源等多个领域彻底变革制造方式的潜力。它是一种逐层制造工艺,其中计算机辅助设计模型被切成层,然后依次沉积每一层以实现最终产品。本文对增材制造进行了总体概述,并讨论了适用于全关节置换术的当前最先进的增材制造方法。具体而言,总结了它们的应用细节和当前面临的挑战,以便为骨科医生提供对增材制造在全关节置换术中当前及潜在应用的基本了解。
