3D market grows with an amazing rapid and it is considered to be the fastest developing sector of the recent years. Thanks to that, many counties start 3D projects including United Arab Emirates, China and European countries. It is also a possibility that North Korea can be among these countries. It was even stated that North Korea produced its own printer to use in surgical operations.
Recent footage from Korean Central Television (KCTV) indicates that the country may be pursuing 3D printing on a broader level. A demonstration of a 3D printer was given to reporters, with the statement that it can print bone for dental and cosmetic surgery procedures. KCTV stated that the printer in the demonstration was assembling a human jaw and that doctors will be using the technology to improve the speed and precision of surgical procedures.
“With this new technology, we can mould various bone fragments through a detailed facial blueprint,” said Dr Hwang Seong-hyeok from the state department of dentistry. “We are calibrating 3D Printers for procedures of dental implant prosthesis and physicians…are taking advantage of the current limits that 3D Printers can take,” Park Hyun-wee at the 3D Convergence Technology Center in Seoul told. “3D Printers also remain in the R&D paradigm of inspection and testing, a strict set of guidelines that would assure regulators of the variety of industries 3D Printers could shape.”
