Three-dimensional printing technology has been around for decades, but has seen a rapid expansion into commercial, manufacturing and industrial use over the past few years. As it makes its way into health care, what benefits could this relatively new technology offer?
Dr. Kevin Chen, Chief of Pediatric Surgery at Cardinal Glennon and Surgical Director of the 3D Lab at SSM Health, joins the show to discuss the use of 3D printing in his everyday work. Dr. Chen discusses how it can be used as an educational tool, how it affects the patient-caregiver relationship and where the technology can go in the future.
