Additive Manufacturing, also commonly referred to as 3D printing, is a technology that manufactures products by layer-by-layer printing based on digital model files. Since the product is printed out through the accumulation of layers of material, this technique is also known as incremental manufacturing. At present, the technology is widely used in various fields such as biomedicine, and energy. As one of the applications, Professor Huang Yong's team has long been committed to the application of incremental manufacturing to the manufacture of living organs. The report first introduces and classifies various 3D printing technologies, then discusses and forecasts its application problems and future. Finally, it introduces the latest development of 3D bio-in-vivo printing direction based on the incremental manufacturing/3D printing concept. Results. As a method to solve the problem of organ shortage, bio-printing is expected to realize the rapid manufacture of three-dimensional organs of arbitrary shape and for the replacement of diseased organs.
Brief Bio:
Dr. Yong Huang, Ph.D., Department of Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering, Department of Bioengineering, Department of Materials Science and Engineering, University of Florida, USA, and Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). In December 2002, he graduated from the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the Georgia Institute of Technology with a Ph.D. Research areas include: biological and engineering materials processing, material damage and defect structure analysis caused by processing. At present, the main research directions include 1) 3D printing of biological and engineering structures; 2) precision engineering and material property evaluation of medical implants; 3) manufacture of high polymer functional microspheres/microcapsule inclusions/porous fiber membranes. Professor Huang Yong served as Chairman of the Technical Program Committee of the 2010 American Society of Mechanical Engineers International Conference on Manufacturing Science and Engineering (ASME MSEC 2010) and was awarded the ASME International Symposium on Flexible Automation Young Investigator Award (2008), NSF CAREER Award (2008), The SME Outstanding Young Manufacturing Engineer Award (2006), the ASME Blackall Machine Tool and Gage Award (2005) and many other awards.
