Here are some of the revolutionary advancements of 3D printing.<\/p>\n<h3>You Needn\u2019t Pay An Arm Or Leg<\/h3>\n<p>As 3D printing has revolutionized the manufacturing process, doctors and researchers are hopeful that it will benefit millions of people in need of artificial braces and limbs. 3D printing is one of the most sought after innovations that introduced less expensive prosthetics. Individuals pay anywhere between three lakh rupees to thirty lakhs rupees for prosthetics. With 3D printing, the cost drops considerably to an astonishing 3000 rupees, resulting in economic viability.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"bT0Z5afAJH\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/versionweekly.com\/depression\/why-preventive-healthcare-is-a-must-for-working-women\/\">Why Preventive Healthcare Is A Must For Working Women<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe title=\"&#8220;Why Preventive Healthcare Is A Must For Working Women&#8221; &#8212; Version Weekly\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" src=\"https:\/\/versionweekly.com\/depression\/why-preventive-healthcare-is-a-must-for-working-women\/embed\/#?secret=bT0Z5afAJH\" data-secret=\"bT0Z5afAJH\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>Opportunity To Save Your Hide!<\/h3>\n<p>In a recent testing, researchers have exhibited a model for a 3D bioprinter that can make operational human skin. It can be used on patients who require skin grafting, for clinical studies and research experiments as well as the testing of pharmaceutical, chemical, and cosmetic, products. It is also apt for use in transplants on burn patients and those with other skin problems.<\/p>\n<h3>Creation Of Digital Skull Replicas<\/h3>\n<p>The need for partial skull replacements has increased in the recent past. In dangerous accidents where the skull of an individual is damaged beyond repair, skull plates are fixed to allow continuous functionality. The skull is first scanned to create a digital replica, before a replacement plate \u00a1s printed out. This step in 3D printing is a boon for crucial and Immediate skull replacement surgeries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"entry-title\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/versionweekly.com\/health\/innovations-in-the-healthcare-domain\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Innovations In The Healthcare Domain<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>\u2018Earmarked\u2019 For Success<\/h3>\n<p>Doctors have recently honed an innovative method to develop a fully formed human ear, utilizing the patient\u2019s own stem cells. By beginning with a 3D printed polymer mould of an ear, the procedure involves implanting stem cells that are derived from fat.<\/p>\n<p class=\"entry-title\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/versionweekly.com\/health\/exploring-the-link-between-telehealth-and-healthcare\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Exploring The Link Between Telehealth And Healthcare<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>An Optimal Dose Of Medicine<\/h3>\n<p>Personalised dosage is another revolutionary step in 3D printing that will benefit millions, globally. A doctor would be able to use each patient\u2019s individual information to customise and produce an optimal medication dose, rather than relying on a standard set of dosages.<\/p>\n<p>Although, 3D printing in the pharmaceutical sector witnessed greater advancements, there is much to explore and develop further. Nevertheless, there is a constant process of upgrading and enhancing current printing technology and materials.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How 3D Printing Is Changing Healthcare Healthcare, a constantly evolving and growing space is ascending to the next level with &#8230; <\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more-container\"><a title=\"How 3D Printing Is Changing Healthcare\" class=\"read-more button\" href=\"https:\/\/versionweekly.com\/health\/how-3d-printing-is-changing-healthcare\/#more-7647\" aria-label=\"More on How 3D Printing Is Changing Healthcare\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8776,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/versionweekly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/How-3D-Printing-Is-Changing-Healthcare.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/versionweekly.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7647"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/versionweekly.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/versionweekly.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/versionweekly.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/versionweekly.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7647"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/versionweekly.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7647\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/versionweekly.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8776"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/versionweekly.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7647"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/versionweekly.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7647"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/versionweekly.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7647"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
