上海儿童医学中心与比利时合作应用3D打印技术救助先天心脏病少儿患者 - 2017年05月09日

SIXTEEN-YEAR-OLD Ma Chengqiang and 8-month-old Yang Youhong, both from remote Qinghai Province, owe their lives to 3D printing.

The two children are beneficiaries of a charity called Little Hearts of China, which arranges life-saving heart surgery in Shanghai, utilizing 3D printing technologies.

The project, which focuses on helping children from impoverished rural regions, is sponsored by the Shanghai Children’s Medical Center and Materialise, a Belgium-based 3D printing software and service provider.
