Guizhou's Xiao feng was born, 6-year old boy with brittle bone disease, was born has been broken twenty or thirty times, sneeze are likely to fracture. Now, in a "disruptive technology" is known as 3D printing help, he is expected to enjoy the walk's childhood.
Xiao feng's "step" does not mean that businesses have been able to make money by 3D printing, medical, food, construction, aviation and other fields, 3D printing is still earn only compliant status.
The first financial daily contact over more than 10 related businesses barely profitable, spending more is constantly, and there are small in size and pressure characteristics. In addition, the 3D printing technology in China compared with developed countries such as the United States, Germany, is still in its infancy stage.
"The key core components, is almost empty. "Three dimensional printing equipment and manufacturing Director of the key laboratory of Jiangsu Province, Yang Jiquan told the newspaper, China's 3D printing equipment, materials, software and so on are far less developed.
Recently, the State Council to "3D print is titled", academician of the Chinese Academy of engineering, the XI ' an Jiaotong University Professor Lu Bingheng, for Ministers to "catch-up".
"Why do today to have this seminar? before I has privately asked some Ministers, 3D printing what is the core? they are not very clear. "During the meeting, Premier Li said.
At present, the "made in China" 2025 "this significant strategies being implemented to advance in the State Department's move seemed to presage, under the concept of industrial upgrading and innovation, a series of new technologies such as 3D printing will be more and more high-level attention, policy essay just around the corner.
3D printing help boy with brittle bone disease
Also known as brittle bone disease osteogenesis imperfecta, is a rare congenital bone developmental disorder, the national incidence of one out of 10,000 or so, currently number about 100,000, ~20 million people.
"First want to check of joint activity and pathology in children with location, but are wary when they saw him roll his pants legs, fractures, are afraid to touch at all. "On August 26, the Hong Kong University Shenzhen hospital consultant Du Qijun recalled in June this year when they first see small peaks.
Common lower limb deformities can be "broken bones and then continued" correction, osteogenesis imperfecta or cannot be cured. At present, the medical community's goal is to minimize the possibility of fractures, surgery to correct deformities, increasing bone density decrease bone fragility. Wearable by IDC underestimated how large the industry
However, Xiao feng's legs because a year ago, and slowly bent into the shape of a cross, looks like sitting around all day, unable to take standard x-rays, surgical design is difficult, and very high precision of the orthopedic surgery.
Medical teams tried to use CT scans in children with leg bones, but CT is a two-dimensional image, doctors cannot fully see the leg's condition, cannot determine which location you should be cut and how much should be cut bone.
Finally, in the aura of 3D printed model of listed company (300227.SZ) with the help of June this year, Hong Kong University Shenzhen hospital printed out a 1:1 simulation model of lower extremities, 3D printing technology allows legs "one edges and corners are very precise."
Aura of 3D printing Division General Manager Bai song told the newspaper reporters, print model of patients with leg bones are the key steps in the CT scan, enter medical image processing software, reconstruction of three-dimension model "model was photosensitive resin, precision of 0.1 mm. "
Hong Kong University Shenzhen hospital orthopedic team according to the model set out precise surgery, in patients with truncated legs of femur and tibia and fibula, and each side will be a sweater-like needle "nail" inserted into the bone marrow cavity, bones of a string is truncated, and back in a straight line, and supporting and fixing the lower limbs.
"The near future, Xiao Feng received supplementary training will have the chance to stand up, with their feet to walk. "For the small peaks in the treatment the doctor told the newspaper.
Technology weak, difficult and high cost
According to the hospital statement, 6 years old peaks walk, this is 3D printing technology used for the first time the country's brittle bone disease corrective surgery.
"3D printing in the medical field for three main areas: planning model, template and transplant surgery. However, the transplantation field has not yet been approved by the State. "Bai song told the newspaper reporters.
However, more bio-printing enterprises are facing the biggest problem remains the lack of space.
The Business Journal reporter contacted more than 10 enterprises, except for a small number of hospitals would try to print using 3D technology, more hospitals can't just test.
"Because it is not included in the charging system, went into health care, medical oversight body, the health authority did not research how this emerging technology open access mechanism or using demonstration projects to support its development. Therefore, enterprises are faced with the embarrassing situation of clinical application of technology and I can't. "A company manager told reporters.
In addition, industrial, aerospace, education and other areas in the past two years for the application of 3D printing has just started, "industry accounted for vague, don't even have a specific value, not to do those statistics. "Yang Jiquan said.
Cost issues to consider 3D printing company. With small peaks, for example, the aura of his print leg model or 3D free, cost of a bone in his leg in the 2000 Yuan. "But our 3D printing equipment from Germany import, a cost of more than 4 million Yuan. "Bai song told the newspaper, and includes many rare disease osteogenesis imperfecta, is not within the scope of health care.
The business journal also learned from some companies, designing and manufacturing enterprises to do 3D printing costs are very high, to reach and as a normal production levels, higher than regular cost around 50%. At present, there is no real benefit in this regard Government policies, and service institutions are few.
"A core problem is technology. "Yang Jiquan said that technology gap on 3D printing in China mainly in four areas:
First, the material, performance, reliability, applicability has very large room, there is no formation of industrialization.
Second, equipment, industrial-grade equipment manufacturer in China, dozens of desktop with hundreds of home, but there are still gaps.
Third is the key device, is almost empty. The most important lasers used for sintering, almost all of the United States, and Germany equipment.
Finally, and most important software. Software is the soul of 3D printing, no software, no equipment. Google, Intel, Microsoft and other big foreign companies are already ahead of the layout.
Old Professor two examples to impress the Prime Minister
Although the 3D printing industry in China is facing a dilemma, but 3D printing seminars reflect in recent days, a series of new technologies is getting high-level attention.
The first financial daily reporter learned that, Professor Lu said at the meeting, as represented by the d print "additive manufacturing" is the prospect of "material", that is, a materials genome, development of super high strength, high temperature resistance, super high tenacity and high corrosion resistant material. 3D printing has produced a temperature of 3,315 degrees, used in "Dragon ships 2nd" significantly enhances the ship lift. From "material" to "creation", that is, printed cells to make organs and even print in cell gene mutation gene.
The concept of additive, Li expressed strong interest. He said, this gives us a very important lesson: development of China today, we want to aim at the next stage of development, to be manufactured by manufacturing power toward power, needed on the concept up a notch.
Mr Li also said "additional material" concept is in line with our national needs. Our country's natural endowment is not dominant, per capital hold of resources below the world average level in so many ways, "additive" approach may be for developing major shift in the way subversive. Not only 3D printing, there are many other technologies, should be focused on this idea serious consideration: how to change the development mode, out of a Chinese industry, the economy entered in the high-end way.
Present situation of development of our 3D printing, academician Lu introduced, compared to foreign countries, research is not a late start in China, technology is not backward, in some respects, is still in the lead, but the industry is growing so slowly, enterprises lack of scale. The country should come up with their own strategies in a timely manner.
"3D print shows the way of innovation for all. "Lu Bingheng also said in the lecture.
His road, for example, in 2014, the United States GE company challenge, 3D printing, one of the plane's parts and components design. Collected over more than 700 in the first place only 1/6 the weight of the original structure to completion of all tests. Designer is a 19 year old young man, senior experts programme than the GE company.
Push the "double hit" Li again, improve the overall competitiveness of Chinese-made, the key to use a public undertaking, the much anticipated innovation to stimulate the creativity of millions of people.
For the next deployment, Mr LI proposes to further advance the reform of decentralization, drop pipe, optimization services, government supervision, create a tie-breaking, huizhong intellectual, and maintaining a fair and favorable environment for promoting innovation.
Shenzhen new materials industry association said one person, a representative area of 2025, 3D printing is made in China. Investors are very sensitive to any good policy, on industrial research in great detail, but large scale also takes time.
Qin Guobin is a manufacturer of 3D printers, business owner in Dongguan, is also involved in one of the 3D printing industry earlier. Silicone products has been producing coasters, three or four years ago after the contact with the concept of 3D printing, seeking transformation. He told the newspaper: "the projected outbreak occurred in the market this year and next. "
