Bionic 3D printing is used to produce biomimetic cartilage tissue and micro-scale vascular network to treat cartilage defects and local vascular damage, analyze the mechanism of autologous fibroblasts to maintain the stability of degenerative intervertebral discs, and manage degenerative disc diseases. Combined with methods using hot solvents, special bio-modification inks are used to develop bio-3D printed tissue engineering scaffolds to treat osteosarcoma and diabetic bone defects. For pre-operative guidance, machine learning has been used to assist biplane X-ray assessment of bone and joint function to optimize personalized implant design and support the application of 3D printing for personalized implants.
