英国新闻听力 创业公司3D打印假肢

So is this the first time that you have scanned for a double amputee?

It absolutely is. This is the very first double amputation¹ that we've ever scanned before and we're proud to have you as our first case here.

Ah, thanks. Feeling confident?

Yeah.

The scanning itself is a great experience. I was impressed by how fast it was. In just a minute and a half, we had these incredibly detailed² scans.

I remember having my first plaster of paris cast done when I first came out of hospital and I still had kind of necrotic issue on my limbs. Because I had meningitis, so it was septicemia. And that was really traumatic for me. It was a very long process and quite painful. And when you have no idea of that process as well, it's really hard. And so this would be a lot simpler for people who were having it done for the first time. It could be quite a good entry point.

The information is sent to the cloud where it can be shared with anyone, anywhere. And the first iteration of my legs were ready to be printed out for the next morning.

Hello.

Hi.

Hello. How's it going?

Good to see you. Good morning.

These were printed. So we did the scanning yesterday. They were printed in seven and a half hours overnight and now I'm holding it. It's amazing. Feeling a little bit nervous but excited to try them out.

It's much comfier than I thought it would be. Considering is the fit is actually very low, so my legs usually come right up above my knees. It's pretty impressive though.

Oh, I think I just broke that. Oh, I think that might be snapping. I broke it.

It was a valiant³ effort, but my takeaway was the importance of having a prosthetist involved in the design. But it's clear there is a future for 3D printing in the field of prosthetics.

这是您第一次为双腿截肢者做扫描吗？

您说的完全正确。这确实是我们第一次为双腿截肢者做扫描，我们很骄傲您成为我们第一个案例。

哦，谢谢。您有自信吗？

是的。

扫描本身就是一种非常好的体验。扫描速度如此之快，令我印象深刻。只需要一分半钟，非常精密的细节扫描就已完毕。

我记得在我离开医院后，第一次为我做石膏模型。我的肢体还有那种坏死组织，因为我之前有结核性脑膜炎，败血病引起的。打石膏的体验让我感到相当痛苦。过程耗时很长而且很疼。这个过程怎么做你也一无所知，所以感到很难熬。这种扫描对于第一次来做的人来说，要简单得多。3D扫描是一个很好的开始。 

扫描信息会被传到数据云，数据可以分享给任何地方的任何人。我双腿的第一个3D计算机模型第二天早上会被打印出来。

您好。

你好。

您好。一切还好吗？

很高兴见到您。早上好。

我的一对3D假肢已经打印好了。昨天白天我们做了3D扫描。然后晚上用了7个半小时把它打印出来，我现在正拿着这对打印好的假肢。太不可思议了。我现在准备穿上它，感觉既紧张又兴奋。

比我之前想的要舒服得多。这个装置其实做得很低，过去我的假肢经常是要到我的膝盖上面。我觉得给我的感觉很好。

哦，我是不是把它弄断了。哦，我觉得它可能断了。我把它弄断了。

他们的尝试很勇敢。我的试水对让制作假肢的人来参与设计有着重要意义。可以肯定的是，在修复术领域，3D打印技术未来会有一席之地。
