Abstract

Background: 3D printing is a popular technology in many industries secondary to its ability to rapidly produce inexpensive, high fidelity models/products, mainly through layer-by-layer fusion of various substrate materials. In healthcare, 3D printing has garnered interest for its applications in surgery, simulation, education, and medical device development, and 3D printing facilities are now being integrated into hospital-based settings. Yet, little is known regarding the leadership, resources, outputs, and role of these new onsite entities.

Methods: The purpose of this research was to survey features of North American hospital-based 3D printing facilities to understand their design and utility in anticipation of future expansion. Hospital-based 3D printing labs were recruited through online special interest groups to participate via survey response. Anonymous, voluntary data were collected from 21 facilities over 9 weeks and reported/analyzed in aggregate.

Results: Of the respondents, > 50% were founded in the past 5 years and 80% in the past decade, indicating recent and rapid growth of such facilities. Labs were most commonly found within large, university-affiliated hospitals/health systems with administration frequently, but not exclusively, through radiology departments, which was shown to enhance collaboration. All groups reported collaborating with other medical specialties/departments and image segmentation as part of the workflow, showing widespread interest in high fidelity, personalized medicine applications. Lab leadership was most often multidisciplinary, with physicians present on nearly all leadership teams. Budgets, personnel, and outputs varied among groups, however, all groups reported engagement in multiple 3D printing applications.

Conclusion: This preliminary study provides a foundation for understanding the unique nature of hospital-based 3D printing labs. While there is much to learn about such in-house facilities, the data obtained reveal important baseline characteristics. Further research is indicated to validate these early findings and create a detailed picture of the developing infrastructure of 3D printing in healthcare settings.

从头开始:了解以医院为基础的环境中3D打印设施的发展基础设施和资源。
背景:3D打印在许多行业中都是一种流行的技术,其次是它能够快速生产廉价、高保真的模型/产品,主要是通过各种基材的逐层融合。在医疗保健领域,3D打印因其在手术、模拟、教育和医疗设备开发中的应用而引起了人们的兴趣,3D打印设备现在正被整合到医院环境中。然而,人们对这些新的现场实体的领导、资源、产出和作用知之甚少。方法:本研究的目的是调查北美医院3D打印设施的特点,以了解其设计和用途,以预测未来的扩张。医院的3D打印实验室通过在线特殊兴趣小组通过调查回应的方式参与进来。在9周的时间里,从21家机构收集了匿名、自愿的数据,并进行了汇总报告/分析。结果:在受访者中,超过50%是在过去5年成立的,80%是在过去10年成立的,这表明这类设施最近发展迅速。实验室最常在大型大学附属医院/卫生系统中发现,其管理经常但不完全是通过放射科,这已被证明可以加强合作。所有小组都报告了与其他医学专业/部门的合作,并将图像分割作为工作流程的一部分,显示出对高保真、个性化医学应用的广泛兴趣。实验室领导通常是多学科的,几乎所有的领导团队都有医生。预算、人员和产出因小组而异,然而,所有小组都报告参与了多个3D打印应用程序。结论:本初步研究为了解基于医院的3D打印实验室的独特性奠定了基础。虽然关于这种内部设施还有很多需要了解的地方,但所获得的数据揭示了重要的基线特征。进一步的研究表明,以验证这些早期的发现,并创建一个详细的画面,发展基础设施的3D打印在医疗保健设置。
