3D-printed implant used to replace 75 percent of man’s skull

by Larra Morris

A 3D-printed implant was used to replace 75 percent of a man’s skull in a surgical procedure earlier this week. The prosthetic was constructed using an additive printing process, and was implanted following manufacturer Oxford Performance Materials receiving FDA approval to use the technology last month. News.com.au reports that the company can create similar implants in two weeks after receiving 3D scans of a patient’s injured area. It believes that 500 people in the US each month could take advantage of the new process.
