About This Webinar

Since the first pacemaker implanted in a patient 60 years ago, Additive Manufacturing remains the hottest technology to hit the medical device industry. Several reasons might explain why it is so appealing. One of them is the fact that a wide range of medical devices and parts for laboratory equipment are complex niche products that are only produced in small series. Another reason would be that AM has enabled an important step toward patient-specific medicine. However, advantages are almost always emphasised at the expense of real implications for both the doctor and the patient. What are the considerations doctors should take into account to leverage additive manufacturing? What can they do if they do not have all the required expertise to utilize these technologies? What are the technology solutions that can be utilized in this specific field? What are the constraints for a vital industry like this one? So many questions surround this topic, so many questions that our experts can't wait to address.

Dr. Yi Sun

Head of 3D surgical planning lab in the department of oral and maxillofacial surgery, UZ Leuven

Dr. Yi Sun worked in the field of computer assisted surgery planning since 2007. Currently, He is the head of 3D surgical planning lab in the department of oral and maxillofacial surgery, UZ Leuven. His main professional interest is to integrate 3D technologies in the clinical workflow to develop new medical treatment methods and to carry out clinical research. This involves computer assisted surgical planning, 3D design and 3D printing of surgical template, patient specific implant and image-guided surgery. During his Ph.D research, he was the first to implement computer assisted navigation system in orthognathic surgery clinically. In 2015, he worked together with department of ophthalmology to develop one of the first 3D printed ocular prosthesis. Until now he has successfully completed hundreds of complex reconstructive cases using 3D technology, which improved the surgical accuracy and reduced the surgical time. He published more than 50 articles in peer-reviewed journals and his research interests are 1) Reconstruct large defects in cranio-maxillofacial region; 2) design bio-mimic scaffold for bone regeneration
