Aging is inevitable, and how to age healthily is a key concern. Additive manufacturing offers many solutions to this problem. In this paper, we first briefly introduce various 3D printing technologies commonly used in the biomedical field, particularly in aging research and aging care. Next, we closely examine aging-related health conditions of nervous system, musculoskeletal system, cardiovascular system, and digestive system with a focus on the application of 3D printing in these fields, including the creation of models and implants, production of drugs and drug delivery systems, and fabrication of rehabilitation and assistive medical devices. Finally, the opportunities, challenges, and prospects of 3D printing in the field of aging are discussed.
衰老是不可避免的，如何健康地衰老成为人们关注的重点。增材制造为这一问题提供了诸多解决方案。本文首先简要介绍生物医学领域常用的各种3D打印技术，尤其是在衰老研究和老龄护理方面的应用。接下来，我们将深入研究神经系统、肌肉骨骼系统、心血管系统和消化系统等与衰老相关的健康状况，重点关注3D打印在这些领域的应用，包括模型和植入物的创建、药物及药物递送系统的生产，以及康复和辅助医疗设备的制造。最后，探讨3D打印在衰老领域的机遇、挑战与前景。
