3D打印技术有助于制造出复杂的实物
3D printing technology allows for the fabrication of complex objects
实物非常复杂以至于用传统制作方法显得不切实际
objects so complex that it would be impractical, expensive,
价格非常昂贵甚至根本做不出来
or even impossible to create them using traditional manufacturing methods.
它包括与我们的个体骨骼一样独特的结构
So this includes structures that are as unique as our individual anatomy
或像DNA和蛋白质那样复杂的生物分子
or as intricate like biomolecules as DNA and proteins.
但如果一个外科医生可以利用3D打印技术
But what if a surgeon could take advantage of 3D printing
来研究其患者自身骨骼结构将会怎样呢？
to study a model of their patients’ own anatomy?
如果一位科学家、一位老师或一个学生
What if a scientist, a teacher or a student
能够轻松找到并创建生物分子的物理模型又会怎样？
could easily find and create physical models of biomolecules?
如果您的医生可以将
Wouldn’t it be great if your doctor could
您心脏的精准3D图传送给世界任何地方的专家
transmit a sophisticated 3D representation of your heart
那不是很好吗？
to a specialist anywhere in the world?
这就是现在正在发生的事
This is happening right now.
我们正在尽可能的为世界上的任何地方任何人
We are making it possible for anyone anywhere
来下载、分享和制作
to download, share and create
高质量的、合乎科学地精确的3D模型
3D models, high quality, scientifically accurate.
这些模型可应用于全世界的医院
These models can be used in hospitals,
实验室和学校
laboratories and schools around the world
以便用相对较低的成本 迅速制造出与生物科学和医学相关的
to rapidly create 3D objects related to bioscience and medicine
3D实体
at relatively low cost.
3D打印 像这个蛋白质模型
3D prints, like this protein model,
提供有价值的见解以推动新的研究发现
provide valuable insights that drive new research discoveries–
了解健康和疾病
insights into health and disease,
洞察更好的诊断和治疗计划
insights for better diagnoses and treatment plans.
更好的使病人了解它
Better patients understand it.
如今外科医生甚至在做切口前就可以
Surgeons can now place their hands
把他们的手和器械准确地置于
and their instruments exactly where they will go
想放的地方
before they even make an incision.
有了这个在线图书馆的生物医学和科学模型
With this online library of biomedical and scientific models,
我们就有了一个极好的机会来推动学习
we have an amazing opportunity to advance learning,
来加快研究发现和改善对病人的护理
to accelerate research discoveries and to improve patient care.
今天的3D打印远远超过了原型和分体结构
Today 3D printing is about much more than prototyping and ministructuring.
这不仅仅是在制作东西
It’s about much more than making things.
这是为了让人们的生活更美好
It’s about making people’s lives better.
