== 3D Printing in Healthcare Settings: Overview and Best Practices ==<br />
<br />
== Introduction ==<br />
3D printers are revolutionary tools that bring digital models or scans into the physical realm. While the technology has been available for several years, it has become more affordable, accessible, and applicable across various industries, including healthcare settings such as local libraries, schools, and individuals owning 3D printers for as little as a few hundred dollars. In the healthcare context, 3D printers have limitless potential, serving as not just a "toy factory" but also as a resource for adaptive and medical education equipment, personalized keepsakes from bereavement experiences, and much more.<br />
<br />
== 3D Printing Process ==<br />
The typical steps involved in 3D printing, from start to finish, include the creation of a 3D model, conversion into sliceable code, the printing process, and post-processing. Each step presents various options and a learning curve, making decisions about the printer, software program, and 3D model crucial. This complexity makes 3D printing an ideal tool for Game Techs, offering flexibility and bandwidth that other hospital programs may lack to fully utilize this technology.<br />
<br />
=== 3D Model Creation ===<br />
A 3D model is a digital representation of a three-dimensional object, surface, or scene created using specialized computer software, primarily computer-aided design (CAD). These models are essential in 3D printing, providing the digital instructions necessary for the printer to create a physical object.<br />
<br />
== Best Practices ==<br />
<br />
=== FDM vs SLA in Healthcare Settings ===<br />
In non-clinical pediatric healthcare settings, two suitable 3D printing technologies stand out: Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) and Stereolithography (SLA).<br />
<br />
* FDM: This widely used process involves extruding thermoplastic filaments through a heated nozzle, building up the physical model layer by layer. FDM is popular for its simplicity, low cost, and versatility. It is suitable for the non-clinical healthcare setting due to its simplified workflow and minimal post-processing needs.<br />
* SLA: Utilizing a UV layer to cure a liquid resin layer by layer, SLA offers more detailed and complex geometries with finer features and smoother surfaces. However, it requires a more in-depth and time-consuming post-processing procedure, involving potentially harmful liquid solutions.<br />
<br />
While FDM is a good initial fit for non-clinical healthcare settings, program-specific needs and accommodations may influence the choice of 3D printing technology.<br />
<br />
== Models/Scans as PHI ==<br />
Considerations related to Protected Health Information (PHI) are crucial in 3D printing. General rules of thumb include:<br />
<br />
=== 3D Scans ===<br />
<br />
* Concerns arise from photographing and converting 2D images into 3D renders.<br />
* Identifiable features, whether facial scans or fingerprints, may fall under PHI/HIPAA concerns.<br />
<br />
=== Printing Patient Data ===<br />
<br />
* When printing personalized data/models (e.g., patient scans, bereavement/legacy items), consider who may see the end product, especially when displayed to patients, families, and guests.<br />
<br />
=== Storage of Patient Data ===<br />
<br />
* Ensure data storage adheres to hospital guidelines and rules, with metadata anonymized to protect patient information.<br />
* Be cautious if using cloud storage solutions, considering the risk of data leaks and the need for security measures.<br />
<br />
Consent forms are recommended to ensure compliance with hospital procedures and standards regarding PHI and HIPAA. For more information on [https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/special-topics/cloud-computing/index.html HIPAA cloud-computing] and general [https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/security/guidance/index.html HIPAA security guidance]<br />
<br />
While many hospitals have various operating procedures and standards, consent forms are always a safe step in ensuring and protecting staff and the hospital in a similar capacity as to when photography and videography is used.<br />
<br />
==Recommended Uses==<br />
===Normalization/Play===<br />
<br />
* A 3D printer can serve as a fun way to engage and play with hospitalized patients.<br />
* Printing fun models or fidgets can provide a positive impact, especially for long-term admissions or frequent fliers.<br />

== General Tips & Tricks ==<br />
<br />
* Make sure accounts you create are not tied to any specific employee, that way you are planning for potential staffing changes. This could be creating a Gmail or Outlook accounts to use as your core accounts or working with your IT to generate a number of accounts that can be accessed by anyone on your team.<br />
* For Gmail users, try the "+" trick to sign up for multiple accounts using the same email address so you can easily manage multiple accounts with one login.<br />
** <nowiki>[email protected]</nowiki> is the same email address as <nowiki>[email protected]</nowiki> which is also the same email as <nowiki>[email protected]</nowiki>.<br />
* Outlook email addresses can also be used for individual console accounts and are automatically associated with Microsoft/Xbox services. The Outlook account acts the same way any other email address would and can be used to create other gaming platform accounts (Epic, PlayStation, Nintendo, etc.).</div>Akelleherhttps://testwiki.childsplaycharity.org/w/index.php?title=Charting&diff=1067Charting2024-01-23T18:15:00Z<p>Akelleher: /* Importance of Charting */</p>
<hr />
<div><br />
==Importance of Documentation in Game Tech Practice/Charting==<br />
While Game Techs may not directly administer medical care to patients and families, the significance of documenting interactions cannot be overstated in this profession. Documentation serves as a vital component, not only for tracking metrics but also for ensuring continuity of care, particularly for long-term or frequently admitted patients. The act of charting can prompt formal referrals upon re-admission, facilitate the transition of coping and socialization plans, and raise awareness of the Game Tech role among other team members. Since each hospital program has unique perspectives on what qualifies as "chart-worthy" information, advocacy may be necessary to gain access to this aspect of the role. Consulting with other social and emotional support teams, such as Child Life or Creative Arts, can offer insights into their processes and serve as a starting point for creating templates. As the Game Tech profession evolves, establishing and adhering to standards of care, including standardized charting practices, becomes increasingly crucial.<br />
<br />
==Potential Content to Chart==<br />
<br />
* Services Provided<br />
* Time Spent:<br />
** Breakdown of time with patients and time dedicated to projects related to them.<br />
* Response to Interventions:<br />
** Observations on changes in mood/affect, verbal expressions of gratitude/excitement, increased movement/tolerances, and pain levels (prompted verbally before and after interventions for effective tracking).<br />
* Intervention/Game Preferences:<br />
** Noting preferences expressed by the patient during interactions.<br />
* Presence During Co-Treat Sessions:<br />
** Documenting participation in co-treatment sessions with other healthcare professionals.<br />
* VR Screening Results:<br />
** Indicating whether the patient passed or failed established guidelines during virtual reality screenings.<br />
* Future and Long-Term Goals:<br />
** Outlining aspirations and objectives for ongoing care.<br />
* Source of Referral:<br />
** Identifying the origin of the referral for the Game Tech services.<br />
<br />
By systematically recording these elements, Game Techs contribute to comprehensive and informed patient care, fostering a well-documented narrative that benefits both patients and the healthcare team.<br />
<br />
==Examples from Established Programs==<br />
<br />
===Ann & Robert H Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago===<br />
Lurie Children's charts using EPIC and game techs use a combination of flowcharts and narrative notes. All interactions are documented using drop down menus in the flowchart and if interactions are more complex (co-treat, long term goals, etc), the data is pulled into a narrative note, where the game tech provides more detail as needed. Examples used under Provided Service include: introduction, normalization, socialization, co-treat, procedure support, education, and troubleshooting.<br />
<br />
[[File:Chart Flowsheet.png|center|thumb|Epic Flow Sheet]]<br />
<br />
===Upstate Golisano Children's Hospital===<br />
Upstate Golisano Children's Hospital charts using EPIC and game techs use a combination of manual charting and smart notes. All interactions are documented using drop down menus, or fill in the blanks. If interactions are more complex, a detailed manually written note is included in the session summary section.<br />
<br />

<br />
===Connecticut Children's===<br />
Connecticut Children's Child Life Gaming and Technology Specialist (GTS) utilizes narrative chart notes on EPIC to document their interventions with patients. The purpose of these narrative notes is to tell a story about the impact that the GTS has on the patient's care plan. These notes can be reviewed by other professionals on the patient's care team, as well as the patient's family. <br />
<br />
Actions to hit in nearly every chart note at Connecticut Children's are: <br />
* Target(s)/goal(s) of intervention (normalization, socialization, coping, diversion, boredom, co-treat with physical/occupational therapies, assistive technology support, sibling support, etc.)<br />
* Where the patient was engaged (bedside, unit playroom, Family Resource Center, etc.)<br />
* How the patient was engaged, brief explanation of equipment used or provided throughout engagement, collaborative/co-op, or competitive session<br />
* Patient's history with gaming and technology (teaching or orientation required prior to session?)<br />
* Patient's affect/demeanor prior to engagement<br />
* Patient's affect/demeanor during engagement<br />
* Patient's affect/demeanor following engagement<br />
* Challenges/successes experienced throughout<br />
* Intentions of further GTS intervention throughout remainder of admission<br />
<br />
<br />
This GTS also utilizes EPIC SmartPhrases, where possible, to aid in the efficiency and consistency of documenting patient interventions. SmartPhrases will not tell the whole story and the note will typically require additional details specific to each patient for the intervention to be described. Below are examples of SmartPhrases that can be used:<br />
<br />
[[File:SmartPhrases23.png|center|Connecticut Children's EPIC SmartPhrases|800x800px|thumb]]<br />
<br />
==Tips==<br />
<br />
* If using EPIC, create SmartPhrases for common interactions (introductions, bedsides etc) that allows you to just fill in specifics for that session and in turn saves a lot of time.</div>Akelleherhttps://testwiki.childsplaycharity.org/w/index.php?title=Best_Practices&diff=1066Best Practices2024-01-23T18:12:50Z<p>Akelleher: </p>

== Summary ==<br />
3D printers are tools to help bring 3D models or scans into the real world. While the technology has been present for numerous years, it has only been in the past few years that this technology has been available to the consumer market. Becoming more affordable, accessible, and applicable to almost every industry (e.g., local libraries, schools, and even individuals owning a 3D printer for as little as a few hundred dollars). In the healthcare setting, these machines have near limitless use potential from simply being a fun "toy factory", unique end product for an art/design project, resource for adaptive and medical education equipment, a personalized keepsake from a bereavement experience or several other uses your team or adjacent departments can dream up. <br />
<br />
The most common steps involved with 3D printing, from start to finish, is the creation of a 3D model, conversion into a sliceable code, printing, and post processing. For each step, there are a variety of options, and subsequent learning curve that makes picking a printer, software program, and 3D model an important decision. Which is why it is a tool that perfectly fits the role of Game Techs, as most other hospital programs may not have the flexibility or bandwidth to tackle the education needed to fully utilize a 3D printing initiative within the healthcare settings. <br />
<br />
A 3D model is a digital representation of a three-dimensional object, surface, or scene created using specialized computer software. 3D models can be used for a variety for purposes, such as animation, gaming, prototyping, simulation, and visualization. Computer-aided design (CAD) is the primarily type of software application used to design, modify, analyze, and optimize designs in a virtual environment. 3D models are integral in 3D printing, it is the digital instructions that a 3D printer needs in order to create a physical object. <br />
<br />
==Best Practices==<br />
'''FDM vs SLA in Healthcare Settings'''<br />
<br />
There are a wide variety of commercially available 3D printing processes, that utilize a variety of techniques and materials to create a physical object from a digital model. In the non-clinical pediatric healthcare settings, there are two suitable technologies that standout: fused deposition modeling (FDM) and stereolithography (SLA).<br />
<br />
FDM is the most widely used and works by extruding thermoplastic filaments, through a heated nozzle to rapidly heat and cool plastic, building up the physical model layer by layer. FDM is the most popular process because offers the most simplicity, low cost, and versatility. Through FDM, a printer uses string-like plastic (known as filament) to print parts with layer height accuracy of 100-200 microns (0.1-0.2 mms) and minimal post-processing needs. <br />
<br />
SLA uses a UV layer to selectively cure a liquid resin, creating a physical object layer by layer out of a pool of liquid plastic. SLA primary difference from FDM, is that it uses light and liquid technology to develop parts with layer height accuracy as small as 25 microns (0.025mm), offering more detailed and complex geometries with finer features and smoother surfaces. However, this requires a much more in-depth and timely post-processing procedure in order to safely handle the final product. Known as curing and washing, these steps use potentially harmful liquid solutions that require ventilation, gloves, and other protective equipment. <br />
<br />
Overall FDM is likely the best initial fit for use in the non-clinical healthcare setting, as it has a simplified workflow process and does not require extensive safety accommodations. However, every program is different in needs and accommodations, so it is helpful to know if your hospital program has alternative locations/workshops/etc - potentially opening the door to the variety of 3D printing technologies available. <br />
<br />
'''Models/Scans as PHI'''<br />
<br />
(This section will be a general rule of thumb, please remember to always check with your specific hospital's guidelines and rules for topics on PHI/HIPAA). PHI concerns primarily come in the following form:<br />
<br />
* '''3D Scans'''<br />
** The primary concern with scans regards the act of photographing and converting 2D images of the patient (whether it be partial body, full body, with/without family members, etc) into 3D renders. From facial scans to fingerprints, there are many identifiable features that may or may not fall under PHI/HIPAA concerns.<br />
<br />
* '''Printing Patient Data'''<br />
** Many programs display the 3D printer and ongoing printing process to patients, families, and guests. When printing personalized data/models (e.g., patient scans, bereavement/legacy items, etc) please keep in my who may be able to see the end product.<br />
<br />
* '''Storage of Patient Data'''<br />
** The largest concern lies in how data is stored, what is stored, and who has access to it. Metadata used to label the 3D model/file should always be anonymized (e.g., patient name, date of birth, etc). Other considerations, many 3D printing slicers, programs, and companies are moving to a cloud storage solution, which increases the security risk for data leaks and the need for the cloud service providers on behalf of healthcare providers to ensure confidentiality, integrity, and availability of PHI stored. For more information on [https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/special-topics/cloud-computing/index.html HIPAA cloud-computing] and general [https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/security/guidance/index.html HIPAA security guidance]<br />
<br />
<br />
While many hospitals have various operating procedures and standards, consent forms are always a safe step in ensuring and protecting staff and the hospital in a similar capacity as to when photography and videography is used.<br />
<br />
==Recommended Uses==<br />
===Normalization/Play===<br />
A 3D printer can simply be a fun way to engage and play with a patient while they are hospitalized. The "wow" factor is typically enough to ice break most interactions and there are numerous fun and free models available on the internet to print favorite characters, and fun fidgets. It is also can be a great expression tool where a patient can create a 3D model in [[Tinkercad]] or in a VR sculpting program and then have the physical end product. This can be great for extended admissions or "frequent fliers" to have long term projects to work on while hospitalized. Patients and families will often come up with fun and unique ideas once they wrap their head around what a 3D printer can do, so ask away! Below are some examples shared by numerous programs:<br />
<br />
* A 3D scan of a siblings face was added to a generic game piece and used in numerous games the patient and sibling would play over video chat.<br />
* A patient explored options for IV line management, as they were often frustrated as things would get tangled and independently found carabiner clip models to print. <br />
<br />
===Medical Play/Education===<br />
Medical play and education is large aspect of how a Child Life Specialists can help a patient and their family cope with being in the healthcare environment. Utilization of real medical materials is particularly helpful as it gives a concrete experience for the child and allows them to explore what actually be used for their care, thus making it less surprising/scary. However medical items are typically expensive and unique items such as trachs or g-tubes are in limited supply for teaching and typically the patient is not able to keep said item after an education session. Using 3D printing, models of these items can be printed to real life specs and used in sessions with patients who in turn can keep them at bedside to continue medical play even after the CCLS has left the room. Models can also be scaled up to explore aspects in greater details or scaled down to fit teddy bears or medical dolls. While the exact textures and colors may be different then the real models, 3D printed models will still provide a positive impact. Meet with your child life team to explore what items would be most utilized and explore modeling the item yourself or use program curated collections list below.<br />

<br />
===Adaptive Equipment===<br />
Adaptive equipment is often expensive and at time difficult to obtain in the health care setting. While some devices are complex and tailored to the individually, others can be fairly simplistic and universal. 3D printing allows a quick/cheap resource for patients and can help them participate in other distracting/normalizing activities while hospitalized. These devices may be only needed temporarily if a patient is simply weak from treatment/recovery or preeminent due to a diagnosis or injury. It will likely be beneficial to consult your child life, rehabilitation, or orthotics teams to explore current needs/deficits. That being said simple tools like grips can be helpful in art or music therapy sessions and there are numerous options that can be utilized with gaming and other tech that would be utilized gaming focused bedside sessions. Here are a few models or curated collections that may be helpful. <br />

<br />
===Legacy/Bereavement Items===<br />
3D printing can provide unique and powerful keepsakes in memory making for a family. This is a difficult and nuanced experience which often has social workers, Chaplins, or child life specialists being the main emotional support during these experiences. Touching with these teams or your hospital palliative care department is a good first step to explore how 3D printing can help during the experiences. From there it is important to establish a referral system, realistic time lines, and print limits for this process to be sustainable. Often one may be tempted to be over accommodating due to weight of these interactions, but having clearly defined and upheld limits is important. We have listed some common model type/techniques that programs use in Legacy Building/Bereavement referrals. <br />

== Policies & Procedures==<br />
===Sanitizing===<br />
It is rare that direct interaction with a 3D printer would be necessary for a patient or patient's room, so ignoring day to day cleaning, sanitizing is not a concern. As for models, prints are typically inexpensive so models given to patients should often be treated as giveaways and will not be sanitized. <br />

==Slicers==<br />
Slicers are programs that take 3D models and "slice" them into horizontal layers for the 3D printer to print. This is also where you will be adjusting layer height (affects detail/time of print), supports (needed to print overhangs), print speed/temperature (slight adjustments needed depending on the [[filament]] being used), and other settings. Most printers have a default slicer but some are better supported and most can be used with any printer.<br />
<br />
===[https://ultimaker.com/software/ultimaker-cura Cura]===<br />
The default slicer for the UltiMaker devices, but the arguable favorite in the 3D printing community. Actively being developed with updates coming out several times a year, often with industry changing advancements. Can be a bit more complex in advance settings, but nothing that isn't learnable through watching a few YouTube videos. Also has an option for community add-ons which offer several quality of life improvements. <br />
<br />
=== [https://www.flashforge.com/product-detail/FlashPrint-slicer-for-flashforge-fdm-3d-printers FlashPrint]===<br />
The default slicer for the Flashforge devices. Works well with these devices and can be used with other brands of printers, but nothing flashy or special that puts it above other slicers.<br />
<br />
==Modeling Software==<br />
To edit or clean up 3D models, there are several different programs one can use. Each has different levels of complexity and limitations.<br />
<br />
===[https://www.tinkercad.com/ Tinkercad]===<br />
A web based design program that allows the user to create 3D models using predefined shapes. Shape dimensions can be modified free hand or inputting precise measurements. Users combine normal and "ghost" shapes to delete portions of objects. While it will load already created STL files, it does have a set limit on file size/triangle account. This is a great introduction into 3D modeling and a good resource to introduce to a patient to create their own project. <br />
<br />
===[https://www.blender.org/ Blender]===<br />
A free program revolving around 3D modeling and animation. A bit more in depth then other software, requiring time spend watching tutorials or simply messing around to get a feel for the process. Users can modify models on the mesh level by adjust vectors and face or use the sculpting mode for a more artistic approach. Will load most complex STL files and is a great way to combine two models into one (e.g. a [[lithophane]] and a stand).<br />
<br />
=== [https://www.autodesk.com/products/fusion-360/overview?term=1-YEAR&tab=subscription Fusion360]===<br />
Fusion 360 is a cloud-based 3D CAD program that utilizes the cloud storage for easier use in collaboration on complex projects. Another advantage of the cloud platform is that Fusion stores the entire history of the model including the changes to it. Numerous design options are available, including freeform, solid, and mesh modeling. The software is free for personal and noncommercial use, but has limitations on the number of projects stored on the cloud.<br />
<br />
===[https://meshmixer.com/ Meshmixer]===<br />
While it is no longer being developed, Meshmixer provides straight forward and unique tools in editing mesh models including planner cuts, filling/hollowing models, and creating tubes. While likely not the first choice in creating models from scratch, these tools can be helpful in end stage processing. <br />
<br />
==Filament==<br />
Fused deposition modeling (FDM) printers use rolls of filament as their material source andare several different types that each have ideal usages, strengths, and limitations. Below are some of the most common types used, but advancements are made each year, so other unique products may be available/best fit for your needs.<br />
<br />
===PLA===<br />
PLA (Polylactic Acid) is the most common 3D printing material because it is easy to use and is made from renewable resources and thus, biodegradable. Some companies have PLA+ or Silk variants that mix additives into the base PLA to increase strength, smoothness, texture etc. This will often modify print temperature or other setting, so make note on what is listed on the package.<br />
<br />
'''Typical Temp Range:''' 205±15 °C<br />
<br />
'''Heated Bed:''' Not Required<br />
<br />
'''Ventilation:''' Not Required<br />
<br />
'''Pros''': most cost effective, easiest materiel to work with<br />
<br />
'''Cons:''' not super strong, can warp in high heat, degrades with UV exposure over time<br />
<br />
===ABS===<br />
ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is another commonly used 3D printer material. Best used for making durable parts that need to withstand higher temperatures.<br />
<br />
'''Typical Temp Range:''' 230±10 °C<br />
<br />
'''Heated Bed:''' 90±10 °C<br />
<br />
'''Ventilation:''' Likely, fumes aren't toxic but do smell<br />
<br />
'''Pros''': strong heat/UV resistant prints, can be post process with acetone for a glossy finish<br />
<br />
'''Cons:''' prone to warping so may require an enclosure, stinky fumes<br />
<br />
===PET (PETG)===<br />
PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) is almost a combination of the ease of use of PLA with the durability of ABS.<br />
<br />
'''Typical Temp Range:''' 245±10 °C<br />
<br />
'''Heated Bed:''' Not required<br />
<br />
'''Ventilation:''' Not required<br />
<br />
'''Pros''': stronger then PLA, barley warps, no odor, more transparent then other materials, <br />
<br />
'''Cons:''' harder to clean during post-processing, can get stuck to print bed, very hygroscopic so requires a dry box for storage or drying before use<br />
<br />
===TPU===<br />
TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) is an elastic, oil/grease resistant, and abrasion-resistant material with a shore hardness of 95A. This materials is great for grips, cases, and other item that require more flexibility <br />
<br />
'''Typical Temp Range:''' 220±10 °C (can depend on brand)<br />
<br />
'''Heated Bed:''' 40±10 °C<br />
<br />
'''Ventilation:''' Not required<br />
<br />
'''Pros''': elastic/soft material, low warp-age/shrinkage, <br />
<br />
'''Cons:''' difficult to print, prone to clogging particularly with systems using a bowden extruder, difficult to post-process especially support removal, hygroscopic so requires a dry box for storage or drying before use<br />
<br />
===ASA===<br />
Acrylonitrile styrene acrylate (ASA) was developed as an alternative to ABS. With a number of additional features, like improved weather resistance and resistance to yellowing from UVs, making it an excellent choice for parts or prints meant for outdoor use.<br />
<br />
'''Typical Temp Range:''' 250±10 °C<br />
<br />
'''Heated Bed:''' 90±10 °C<br />
<br />
'''Ventilation:''' Likely, fumes aren't toxic but do smell (less then ABS)<br />
<br />
'''Pros''': strong heat/UV resistant prints, post processed with acetone,<br />
<br />
'''Cons:''' prone to warping so may require an enclosure, stinky fumes, hygroscopic so requires a dry box for storage or drying before use<br />

Which is why it is a tool that perfectly fits the role of Game Techs, as most other hospital programs may not have the flexibility or bandwidth to tackle the education needed to fully utilize a 3D printing initiative within the healthcare settings. <br />
<br />
A 3D model is a digital representation of a three-dimensional object, surface, or scene created using specialized computer software. 3D models can be used for a variety for purposes, such as animation, gaming, prototyping, simulation, and visualization. Computer-aided design (CAD) is the primarily type of software application used to design, modify, analyze, and optimize designs in a virtual environment. 3D models are integral in 3D printing, it is the digital instructions that a 3D printer needs in order to create a physical object. <br />
<br />
==Best Practices==<br />
'''FDM vs SLA in Healthcare Settings'''<br />
<br />
There are a wide variety of commercially available 3D printing processes, that utilize a variety of techniques and materials to create a physical object from a digital model. In the non-clinical pediatric healthcare settings, there are two suitable technologies that standout: fused deposition modeling (FDM) and stereolithography (SLA).<br />
<br />
FDM is the most widely used and works by extruding thermoplastic filaments, through a heated nozzle to rapidly heat and cool plastic, building up the physical model layer by layer. FDM is the most popular process because offers the most simplicity, low cost, and versatility. Through FDM, a printer uses string-like plastic (known as filament) to print parts with layer height accuracy of 100-200 microns (0.1-0.2 mms) and minimal post-processing needs. <br />
<br />
SLA uses a UV layer to selectively cure a liquid resin, creating a physical object layer by layer out of a pool of liquid plastic. SLA primary difference from FDM, is that it uses light and liquid technology to develop parts with layer height accuracy as small as 25 microns (0.025mm), offering more detailed and complex geometries with finer features and smoother surfaces. However, this requires a much more in-depth and timely post-processing procedure in order to safely handle the final product. Known as curing and washing, these steps use potentially harmful liquid solutions that require ventilation, gloves, and other protective equipment. <br />
<br />
Overall FDM is likely the best initial fit for use in the non-clinical healthcare setting, as it has a simplified workflow process and does not require extensive safety accommodations. However, every program is different in needs and accommodations, so it is helpful to know if your hospital program has alternative locations/workshops/etc - potentially opening the door to the variety of 3D printing technologies available. <br />
<br />
===Models/Scans as PHI===<br />
(This section will be a general rule of thumb, please remember to always check with your specific hospital's guidelines and rules for topics on PHI/HIPAA). PHI concerns primarily come in the following form:<br />
<br />
* '''3D Scans'''<br />
** The primary concern with scans regards the act of photographing and converting 2D images of the patient (whether it be partial body, full body, with/without family members, etc) into 3D renders. From facial scans to fingerprints, there are many identifiable features that may or may not fall under PHI/HIPAA concerns.<br />
<br />
* '''Printing Patient Data'''<br />
** Many programs display the 3D printer and ongoing printing process to patients, families, and guests. When printing personalized data/models (e.g., patient scans, bereavement/legacy items, etc) please keep in my who may be able to see the end product.<br />
<br />
* '''Storage of Patient Data'''<br />
** The largest concern lies in how data is stored, what is stored, and who has access to it. Metadata used to label the 3D model/file should always be anonymized (e.g., patient name, date of birth, etc). Other considerations, many 3D printing slicers, programs, and companies are moving to a cloud storage solution, which increases the security risk for data leaks and the need for the cloud service providers on behalf of healthcare providers to ensure confidentiality, integrity, and availability of PHI stored. For more information on [https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/special-topics/cloud-computing/index.html HIPAA cloud-computing] and general [https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/security/guidance/index.html HIPAA security guidance]<br />
<br />
<br />
While many hospitals have various operating procedures and standards, consent forms are always a safe step in ensuring and protecting staff and the hospital in a similar capacity as to when photography and videography is used.<br />
<br />
==Recommended Uses==<br />
===Normalization/Play===<br />
A 3D printer can simply be a fun way to engage and play with a patient while they are hospitalized. The "wow" factor is typically enough to ice break most interactions and there are numerous fun and free models available on the internet to print favorite characters, and fun fidgets. It is also can be a great expression tool where a patient can create a 3D model in [[Tinkercad]] or in a VR sculpting program and then have the physical end product. This can be great for extended admissions or "frequent fliers" to have long term projects to work on while hospitalized. Patients and families will often come up with fun and unique ideas once they wrap their head around what a 3D printer can do, so ask away! Below are some examples shared by numerous programs:<br />
<br />
* A 3D scan of a siblings face was added to a generic game piece and used in numerous games the patient and sibling would play over video chat.<br />
* A patient explored options for IV line management, as they were often frustrated as things would get tangled and independently found carabiner clip models to print. <br />
<br />
===Medical Play/Education===<br />
Medical play and education is large aspect of how a Child Life Specialists can help a patient and their family cope with being in the healthcare environment. Utilization of real medical materials is particularly helpful as it gives a concrete experience for the child and allows them to explore what actually be used for their care, thus making it less surprising/scary. However medical items are typically expensive and unique items such as trachs or g-tubes are in limited supply for teaching and typically the patient is not able to keep said item after an education session. Using 3D printing, models of these items can be printed to real life specs and used in sessions with patients who in turn can keep them at bedside to continue medical play even after the CCLS has left the room. Models can also be scaled up to explore aspects in greater details or scaled down to fit teddy bears or medical dolls. While the exact textures and colors may be different then the real models, 3D printed models will still provide a positive impact. Meet with your child life team to explore what items would be most utilized and explore modeling the item yourself or use program curated collections list below.<br />

<br />
===Adaptive Equipment===<br />
Adaptive equipment is often expensive and at time difficult to obtain in the health care setting. While some devices are complex and tailored to the individually, others can be fairly simplistic and universal. 3D printing allows a quick/cheap resource for patients and can help them participate in other distracting/normalizing activities while hospitalized. These devices may be only needed temporarily if a patient is simply weak from treatment/recovery or preeminent due to a diagnosis or injury. It will likely be beneficial to consult your child life, rehabilitation, or orthotics teams to explore current needs/deficits. That being said simple tools like grips can be helpful in art or music therapy sessions and there are numerous options that can be utilized with gaming and other tech that would be utilized gaming focused bedside sessions. Here are a few models or curated collections that may be helpful. <br />

<br />
===Legacy/Bereavement Items===<br />
3D printing can provide unique and powerful keepsakes in memory making for a family. This is a difficult and nuanced experience which often has social workers, Chaplins, or child life specialists being the main emotional support during these experiences. Touching with these teams or your hospital palliative care department is a good first step to explore how 3D printing can help during the experiences. From there it is important to establish a referral system, realistic time lines, and print limits for this process to be sustainable. Often one may be tempted to be over accommodating due to weight of these interactions, but having clearly defined and upheld limits is important. We have listed some common model type/techniques that programs use in Legacy Building/Bereavement referrals. <br />

== Policies & Procedures==<br />
===Sanitizing===<br />
It is rare that direct interaction with a 3D printer would be necessary for a patient or patient's room, so ignoring day to day cleaning, sanitizing is not a concern. As for models, prints are typically inexpensive so models given to patients should often be treated as giveaways and will not be sanitized. <br />

==Slicers==<br />
Slicers are programs that take 3D models and "slice" them into horizontal layers for the 3D printer to print. This is also where you will be adjusting layer height (affects detail/time of print), supports (needed to print overhangs), print speed/temperature (slight adjustments needed depending on the [[filament]] being used), and other settings. Most printers have a default slicer but some are better supported and most can be used with any printer.<br />
<br />
===[https://ultimaker.com/software/ultimaker-cura Cura]===<br />
The default slicer for the UltiMaker devices, but the arguable favorite in the 3D printing community. Actively being developed with updates coming out several times a year, often with industry changing advancements. Can be a bit more complex in advance settings, but nothing that isn't learnable through watching a few YouTube videos. Also has an option for community add-ons which offer several quality of life improvements. <br />
<br />
=== [https://www.flashforge.com/product-detail/FlashPrint-slicer-for-flashforge-fdm-3d-printers FlashPrint]===<br />
The default slicer for the Flashforge devices. Works well with these devices and can be used with other brands of printers, but nothing flashy or special that puts it above other slicers.<br />
<br />
==Modeling Software==<br />
To edit or clean up 3D models, there are several different programs one can use. Each has different levels of complexity and limitations.<br />
<br />
===[https://www.tinkercad.com/ Tinkercad]===<br />
A web based design program that allows the user to create 3D models using predefined shapes. Shape dimensions can be modified free hand or inputting precise measurements. Users combine normal and "ghost" shapes to delete portions of objects. While it will load already created STL files, it does have a set limit on file size/triangle account. This is a great introduction into 3D modeling and a good resource to introduce to a patient to create their own project. <br />
<br />
===[https://www.blender.org/ Blender]===<br />
A free program revolving around 3D modeling and animation. A bit more in depth then other software, requiring time spend watching tutorials or simply messing around to get a feel for the process. Users can modify models on the mesh level by adjust vectors and face or use the sculpting mode for a more artistic approach. Will load most complex STL files and is a great way to combine two models into one (e.g. a [[lithophane]] and a stand).<br />
<br />
=== [https://www.autodesk.com/products/fusion-360/overview?term=1-YEAR&tab=subscription Fusion360]===<br />
Fusion 360 is a cloud-based 3D CAD program that utilizes the cloud storage for easier use in collaboration on complex projects. Another advantage of the cloud platform is that Fusion stores the entire history of the model including the changes to it. Numerous design options are available, including freeform, solid, and mesh modeling. The software is free for personal and noncommercial use, but has limitations on the number of projects stored on the cloud.<br />
<br />
===[https://meshmixer.com/ Meshmixer]===<br />
While it is no longer being developed, Meshmixer provides straight forward and unique tools in editing mesh models including planner cuts, filling/hollowing models, and creating tubes. While likely not the first choice in creating models from scratch, these tools can be helpful in end stage processing. <br />
<br />
==Filament==<br />
Fused deposition modeling (FDM) printers use rolls of filament as their material source andare several different types that each have ideal usages, strengths, and limitations. Below are some of the most common types used, but advancements are made each year, so other unique products may be available/best fit for your needs.<br />
<br />
===PLA===<br />
PLA (Polylactic Acid) is the most common 3D printing material because it is easy to use and is made from renewable resources and thus, biodegradable. Some companies have PLA+ or Silk variants that mix additives into the base PLA to increase strength, smoothness, texture etc. This will often modify print temperature or other setting, so make note on what is listed on the package.<br />
<br />
'''Typical Temp Range:''' 205±15 °C<br />
<br />
'''Heated Bed:''' Not Required<br />
<br />
'''Ventilation:''' Not Required<br />
<br />
'''Pros''': most cost effective, easiest materiel to work with<br />
<br />
'''Cons:''' not super strong, can warp in high heat, degrades with UV exposure over time<br />
<br />
===ABS===<br />
ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is another commonly used 3D printer material. Best used for making durable parts that need to withstand higher temperatures.<br />
<br />
'''Typical Temp Range:''' 230±10 °C<br />
<br />
'''Heated Bed:''' 90±10 °C<br />
<br />
'''Ventilation:''' Likely, fumes aren't toxic but do smell<br />
<br />
'''Pros''': strong heat/UV resistant prints, can be post process with acetone for a glossy finish<br />
<br />
'''Cons:''' prone to warping so may require an enclosure, stinky fumes<br />
<br />
===PET (PETG)===<br />
PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) is almost a combination of the ease of use of PLA with the durability of ABS.<br />
<br />
'''Typical Temp Range:''' 245±10 °C<br />
<br />
'''Heated Bed:''' Not required<br />
<br />
'''Ventilation:''' Not required<br />
<br />
'''Pros''': stronger then PLA, barley warps, no odor, more transparent then other materials, <br />
<br />
'''Cons:''' harder to clean during post-processing, can get stuck to print bed, very hygroscopic so requires a dry box for storage or drying before use<br />
<br />
===TPU===<br />
TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) is an elastic, oil/grease resistant, and abrasion-resistant material with a shore hardness of 95A. This materials is great for grips, cases, and other item that require more flexibility <br />
<br />
'''Typical Temp Range:''' 220±10 °C (can depend on brand)<br />
<br />
'''Heated Bed:''' 40±10 °C<br />
<br />
'''Ventilation:''' Not required<br />
<br />
'''Pros''': elastic/soft material, low warp-age/shrinkage, <br />
<br />
'''Cons:''' difficult to print, prone to clogging particularly with systems using a bowden extruder, difficult to post-process especially support removal, hygroscopic so requires a dry box for storage or drying before use<br />
<br />
===ASA===<br />
Acrylonitrile styrene acrylate (ASA) was developed as an alternative to ABS. With a number of additional features, like improved weather resistance and resistance to yellowing from UVs, making it an excellent choice for parts or prints meant for outdoor use.<br />
<br />
'''Typical Temp Range:''' 250±10 °C<br />
<br />
'''Heated Bed:''' 90±10 °C<br />
<br />
'''Ventilation:''' Likely, fumes aren't toxic but do smell (less then ABS)<br />
<br />
'''Pros''': strong heat/UV resistant prints, post processed with acetone,<br />
<br />
'''Cons:''' prone to warping so may require an enclosure, stinky fumes, hygroscopic so requires a dry box for storage or drying before use<br />

== Summary ==<br />
3D printers are tools to help bring 3D models or scans into the real world. While the technology has been present for numerous years, it has only been in the past few years that this technology has been available to the consumer market. Becoming more affordable, accessible, and applicable to almost every industry (e.g., local libraries, schools, and even individuals owning a 3D printer for as little as a few hundred dollars). In the healthcare setting, these machines have near limitless use potential from simply being a fun "toy factory", unique end product for an art/design project, resource for adaptive and medical education equipment, a personalized keepsake from a bereavement experience or several other uses your team or adjacent departments can dream up. <br />
<br />
The most common steps involved with 3D printing, from start to finish, is the creation of a 3D model, conversion into a sliceable code, printing, and post processing. For each step, there are a variety of options, and subsequent learning curve that makes picking a printer, software program, and 3D model an important decision. Which is why it is a tool that perfectly fits the role of Game Techs, as most other hospital programs may not have the flexibility or bandwidth to tackle the education needed to fully utilize a 3D printing initiative within the healthcare settings. <br />
<br />
A 3D model is a digital representation of a three-dimensional object, surface, or scene created using specialized computer software. 3D models can be used for a variety for purposes, such as animation, gaming, prototyping, simulation, and visualization. Computer-aided design (CAD) is the primarily type of software application used to design, modify, analyze, and optimize designs in a virtual environment. 3D models are integral in 3D printing, it is the digital instructions that a 3D printer needs in order to create a physical object. <br />

<br />
==Recommended Uses==<br />
===Normalization/Play===<br />
A 3D printer can simply be a fun way to engage and play with a patient while they are hospitalized. The "wow" factor is typically enough to ice break most interactions and there are numerous fun and free models available on the internet to print favorite characters, and fun fidgets. It is also can be a great expression tool where a patient can create a 3D model in [[Tinkercad]] or in a VR sculpting program and then have the physical end product. This can be great for extended admissions or "frequent fliers" to have long term projects to work on while hospitalized. Patients and families will often come up with fun and unique ideas once they wrap their head around what a 3D printer can do, so ask away! Below are some examples shared by numerous programs:<br />
<br />
* A 3D scan of a siblings face was added to a generic game piece and used in numerous games the patient and sibling would play over video chat.<br />
* A patient explored options for IV line management, as they were often frustrated as things would get tangled and independently found carabiner clip models to print. <br />

===Adaptive Equipment===<br />
Adaptive equipment is often expensive and at time difficult to obtain in the health care setting. While some devices are complex and tailored to the individually, others can be fairly simplistic and universal. 3D printing allows a quick/cheap resource for patients and can help them participate in other distracting/normalizing activities while hospitalized. These devices may be only needed temporarily if a patient is simply weak from treatment/recovery or preeminent due to a diagnosis or injury. It will likely be beneficial to consult your child life, rehabilitation, or orthotics teams to explore current needs/deficits. That being said simple tools like grips can be helpful in art or music therapy sessions and there are numerous options that can be utilized with gaming and other tech that would be utilized gaming focused bedside sessions. Here are a few models or curated collections that may be helpful. <br />

===Legacy/Bereavement Items===<br />
3D printing can provide unique and powerful keepsakes in memory making for a family. This is a difficult and nuanced experience which often has social workers, Chaplins, or child life specialists being the main emotional support during these experiences. Touching with these teams or your hospital palliative care department is a good first step to explore how 3D printing can help during the experiences. From there it is important to establish a referral system, realistic time lines, and print limits for this process to be sustainable. Often one may be tempted to be over accommodating due to weight of these interactions, but having clearly defined and upheld limits is important. We have listed some common model type/techniques that programs use in Legacy Building/Bereavement referrals. <br />

==Slicers==<br />
Slicers are programs that take 3D models and "slice" them into horizontal layers for the 3D printer to print. This is also where you will be adjusting layer height (affects detail/time of print), supports (needed to print overhangs), print speed/temperature (slight adjustments needed depending on the [[filament]] being used), and other settings. Most printers have a default slicer but some are better supported and most can be used with any printer.<br />
<br />
===[https://ultimaker.com/software/ultimaker-cura Cura]===<br />
The default slicer for the UltiMaker devices, but the arguable favorite in the 3D printing community. Actively being developed with updates coming out several times a year, often with industry changing advancements. Can be a bit more complex in advance settings, but nothing that isn't learnable through watching a few YouTube videos. Also has an option for community add-ons which offer several quality of life improvements. <br />
<br />
=== [https://www.flashforge.com/product-detail/FlashPrint-slicer-for-flashforge-fdm-3d-printers FlashPrint]===<br />
The default slicer for the Flashforge devices. Works well with these devices and can be used with other brands of printers, but nothing flashy or special that puts it above other slicers.<br />
<br />
==Modeling Software==<br />
To edit or clean up 3D models, there are several different programs one can use. Each has different levels of complexity and limitations.<br />
<br />
===[https://www.tinkercad.com/ Tinkercad]===<br />
A web based design program that allows the user to create 3D models using predefined shapes. Shape dimensions can be modified free hand or inputting precise measurements. Users combine normal and "ghost" shapes to delete portions of objects. While it will load already created STL files, it does have a set limit on file size/triangle account. This is a great introduction into 3D modeling and a good resource to introduce to a patient to create their own project. <br />
<br />
===[https://www.blender.org/ Blender]===<br />
A free program revolving around 3D modeling and animation. A bit more in depth then other software, requiring time spend watching tutorials or simply messing around to get a feel for the process. Users can modify models on the mesh level by adjust vectors and face or use the sculpting mode for a more artistic approach. Will load most complex STL files and is a great way to combine two models into one (e.g. a [[lithophane]] and a stand).<br />
<br />
=== [https://www.autodesk.com/products/fusion-360/overview?term=1-YEAR&tab=subscription Fusion360]===<br />
Fusion 360 is a cloud-based 3D CAD program that utilizes the cloud storage for easier use in collaboration on complex projects. Another advantage of the cloud platform is that Fusion stores the entire history of the model including the changes to it. Numerous design options are available, including freeform, solid, and mesh modeling. The software is free for personal and noncommercial use, but has limitations on the number of projects stored on the cloud.<br />
<br />
===[https://meshmixer.com/ Meshmixer]===<br />
While it is no longer being developed, Meshmixer provides straight forward and unique tools in editing mesh models including planner cuts, filling/hollowing models, and creating tubes. While likely not the first choice in creating models from scratch, these tools can be helpful in end stage processing. <br />
<br />
==Filament==<br />
Fused deposition modeling (FDM) printers use rolls of filament as their material source andare several different types that each have ideal usages, strengths, and limitations. Below are some of the most common types used, but advancements are made each year, so other unique products may be available/best fit for your needs.<br />
<br />
===PLA===<br />
PLA (Polylactic Acid) is the most common 3D printing material because it is easy to use and is made from renewable resources and thus, biodegradable. Some companies have PLA+ or Silk variants that mix additives into the base PLA to increase strength, smoothness, texture etc. This will often modify print temperature or other setting, so make note on what is listed on the package.<br />
<br />
'''Typical Temp Range:''' 205±15 °C<br />
<br />
'''Heated Bed:''' Not Required<br />
<br />
'''Ventilation:''' Not Required<br />
<br />
'''Pros''': most cost effective, easiest materiel to work with<br />
<br />
'''Cons:''' not super strong, can warp in high heat, degrades with UV exposure over time<br />
<br />
===ABS===<br />
ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is another commonly used 3D printer material. Best used for making durable parts that need to withstand higher temperatures.<br />
<br />
'''Typical Temp Range:''' 230±10 °C<br />
<br />
'''Heated Bed:''' 90±10 °C<br />
<br />
'''Ventilation:''' Likely, fumes aren't toxic but do smell<br />
<br />
'''Pros''': strong heat/UV resistant prints, can be post process with acetone for a glossy finish<br />
<br />
'''Cons:''' prone to warping so may require an enclosure, stinky fumes<br />
<br />
===PET (PETG)===<br />
PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) is almost a combination of the ease of use of PLA with the durability of ABS.<br />
<br />
'''Typical Temp Range:''' 245±10 °C<br />
<br />
'''Heated Bed:''' Not required<br />
<br />
'''Ventilation:''' Not required<br />
<br />
'''Pros''': stronger then PLA, barley warps, no odor, more transparent then other materials, <br />
<br />
'''Cons:''' harder to clean during post-processing, can get stuck to print bed, very hygroscopic so requires a dry box for storage or drying before use<br />
<br />
===TPU===<br />
TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) is an elastic, oil/grease resistant, and abrasion-resistant material with a shore hardness of 95A. This materials is great for grips, cases, and other item that require more flexibility <br />
<br />
'''Typical Temp Range:''' 220±10 °C (can depend on brand)<br />
<br />
'''Heated Bed:''' 40±10 °C<br />
<br />
'''Ventilation:''' Not required<br />
<br />
'''Pros''': elastic/soft material, low warp-age/shrinkage, <br />
<br />
'''Cons:''' difficult to print, prone to clogging particularly with systems using a bowden extruder, difficult to post-process especially support removal, hygroscopic so requires a dry box for storage or drying before use<br />
<br />
===ASA===<br />
Acrylonitrile styrene acrylate (ASA) was developed as an alternative to ABS. With a number of additional features, like improved weather resistance and resistance to yellowing from UVs, making it an excellent choice for parts or prints meant for outdoor use.<br />
<br />
'''Typical Temp Range:''' 250±10 °C<br />
<br />
'''Heated Bed:''' 90±10 °C<br />
<br />
'''Ventilation:''' Likely, fumes aren't toxic but do smell (less then ABS)<br />
<br />
'''Pros''': strong heat/UV resistant prints, post processed with acetone,<br />
<br />
'''Cons:''' prone to warping so may require an enclosure, stinky fumes, hygroscopic so requires a dry box for storage or drying before use<br />

== Summary ==<br />
3D printers are tools to help bring 3D models or scans into the real world. While the technology has been present for numerous years, it has only been in the past few years that this technology has been available to the consumer market. Becoming more affordable, accessible, and applicable to almost every industry (e.g., local libraries, schools, and even individuals owning a 3D printer for as little as a few hundred dollars). In the healthcare setting, these machines have near limitless use potential from simply being a fun "toy factory", unique end product for an art/design project, resource for adaptive and medical education equipment, a personalized keepsake from a bereavement experience or several other uses your team or adjacent departments can dream up. <br />
<br />
The most common steps involved with 3D printing, from start to finish, is the creation of a 3D model, conversion into a sliceable code, printing, and post processing. For each step, there are a variety of options, and subsequent learning curve that makes picking a printer, software program, and 3D model an important decision. Which is why it is a tool that perfectly fits the role of Game Techs, as most other hospital programs may not have the flexibility or bandwidth to tackle the education needed to fully utilize a 3D printing initiative within the healthcare settings. <br />
<br />
A 3D model is a digital representation of a three-dimensional object, surface, or scene created using specialized computer software. 3D models can be used for a variety for purposes, such as animation, gaming, prototyping, simulation, and visualization. Computer-aided design (CAD) is the primarily type of software application used to design, modify, analyze, and optimize designs in a virtual environment. 3D models are integral in 3D printing, it is the digital instructions that a 3D printer needs in order to create a physical object. <br />
<br />
==Best Practices==<br />
<br />
===== FDM vs SLA in Healthcare Settings =====<br />
There are a wide variety of commercially available 3D printing processes, that utilize a variety of techniques and materials to create a physical object from a digital model. In the non-clinical pediatric healthcare settings, there are two suitable technologies that standout: fused deposition modeling (FDM) and stereolithography (SLA).<br />
<br />
FDM is the most widely used and works by extruding thermoplastic filaments, through a heated nozzle to rapidly heat and cool plastic, building up the physical model layer by layer. FDM is the most popular process because offers the most simplicity, low cost, and versatility. Through FDM, a printer uses string-like plastic (known as filament) to print parts with layer height accuracy of 100-200 microns (0.1-0.2 mms) and minimal post-processing needs. <br />
<br />
SLA uses a UV layer to selectively cure a liquid resin, creating a physical object layer by layer out of a pool of liquid plastic. SLA primary difference from FDM, is that it uses light and liquid technology to develop parts with layer height accuracy as small as 25 microns (0.025mm), offering more detailed and complex geometries with finer features and smoother surfaces. However, this requires a much more in-depth and timely post-processing procedure in order to safely handle the final product. Known as curing and washing, these steps use potentially harmful liquid solutions that require ventilation, gloves, and other protective equipment. <br />
<br />
Overall FDM is likely the best initial fit for use in the non-clinical healthcare setting, as it has a simplified workflow process and does not require extensive safety accommodations. However, every program is different in needs and accommodations, so it is helpful to know if your hospital program has alternative locations/workshops/etc - potentially opening the door to the variety of 3D printing technologies available. <br />
<br />
===Models/Scans as PHI===<br />
(This section will be a general rule of thumb, please remember to always check with your specific hospital's guidelines and rules for topics on PHI/HIPAA). PHI concerns primarily come in the following form:<br />
<br />
* '''3D Scans'''<br />
** The primary concern with scans regards the act of photographing and converting 2D images of the patient (whether it be partial body, full body, with/without family members, etc) into 3D renders. From facial scans to fingerprints, there are many identifiable features that may or may not fall under PHI/HIPAA concerns.<br />
<br />
* '''Printing Patient Data'''<br />
** Many programs display the 3D printer and ongoing printing process to patients, families, and guests. When printing personalized data/models (e.g., patient scans, bereavement/legacy items, etc) please keep in my who may be able to see the end product.<br />
<br />
* '''Storage of Patient Data'''<br />
** The largest concern lies in how data is stored, what is stored, and who has access to it. Metadata used to label the 3D model/file should always be anonymized (e.g., patient name, date of birth, etc). Other considerations, many 3D printing slicers, programs, and companies are moving to a cloud storage solution, which increases the security risk for data leaks and the need for the cloud service providers on behalf of healthcare providers to ensure confidentiality, integrity, and availability of PHI stored. For more information on [https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/special-topics/cloud-computing/index.html HIPAA cloud-computing] and general [https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/security/guidance/index.html HIPAA security guidance]<br />
<br />
<br />
While many hospitals have various operating procedures and standards, consent forms are always a safe step in ensuring and protecting staff and the hospital in a similar capacity as to when photography and videography is used.<br />
<br />
==Recommended Uses==<br />
===Normalization/Play===<br />
A 3D printer can simply be a fun way to engage and play with a patient while they are hospitalized. The "wow" factor is typically enough to ice break most interactions and there are numerous fun and free models available on the internet to print favorite characters, and fun fidgets. It is also can be a great expression tool where a patient can create a 3D model in [[Tinkercad]] or in a VR sculpting program and then have the physical end product. This can be great for extended admissions or "frequent fliers" to have long term projects to work on while hospitalized. Patients and families will often come up with fun and unique ideas once they wrap their head around what a 3D printer can do, so ask away! Below are some examples shared by numerous programs:<br />
<br />
* A 3D scan of a siblings face was added to a generic game piece and used in numerous games the patient and sibling would play over video chat.<br />
* A patient explored options for IV line management, as they were often frustrated as things would get tangled and independently found carabiner clip models to print. <br />
<br />
===Medical Play/Education===<br />
Medical play and education is large aspect of how a Child Life Specialists can help a patient and their family cope with being in the healthcare environment. Utilization of real medical materials is particularly helpful as it gives a concrete experience for the child and allows them to explore what actually be used for their care, thus making it less surprising/scary. However medical items are typically expensive and unique items such as trachs or g-tubes are in limited supply for teaching and typically the patient is not able to keep said item after an education session. Using 3D printing, models of these items can be printed to real life specs and used in sessions with patients who in turn can keep them at bedside to continue medical play even after the CCLS has left the room. Models can also be scaled up to explore aspects in greater details or scaled down to fit teddy bears or medical dolls. While the exact textures and colors may be different then the real models, 3D printed models will still provide a positive impact. Meet with your child life team to explore what items would be most utilized and explore modeling the item yourself or use program curated collections list below.<br />

===Adaptive Equipment===<br />
Adaptive equipment is often expensive and at time difficult to obtain in the health care setting. While some devices are complex and tailored to the individually, others can be fairly simplistic and universal. 3D printing allows a quick/cheap resource for patients and can help them participate in other distracting/normalizing activities while hospitalized. These devices may be only needed temporarily if a patient is simply weak from treatment/recovery or preeminent due to a diagnosis or injury. It will likely be beneficial to consult your child life, rehabilitation, or orthotics teams to explore current needs/deficits. That being said simple tools like grips can be helpful in art or music therapy sessions and there are numerous options that can be utilized with gaming and other tech that would be utilized gaming focused bedside sessions. Here are a few models or curated collections that may be helpful. <br />

==Slicers==<br />
Slicers are programs that take 3D models and "slice" them into horizontal layers for the 3D printer to print. This is also where you will be adjusting layer height (affects detail/time of print), supports (needed to print overhangs), print speed/temperature (slight adjustments needed depending on the [[filament]] being used), and other settings. Most printers have a default slicer but some are better supported and most can be used with any printer.<br />
<br />
===[https://ultimaker.com/software/ultimaker-cura Cura]===<br />
The default slicer for the UltiMaker devices, but the arguable favorite in the 3D printing community. Actively being developed with updates coming out several times a year, often with industry changing advancements. Can be a bit more complex in advance settings, but nothing that isn't learnable through watching a few YouTube videos. Also has an option for community add-ons which offer several quality of life improvements. <br />

<br />
===[https://www.tinkercad.com/ Tinkercad]===<br />
A web based design program that allows the user to create 3D models using predefined shapes. Shape dimensions can be modified free hand or inputting precise measurements. Users combine normal and "ghost" shapes to delete portions of objects. While it will load already created STL files, it does have a set limit on file size/triangle account. This is a great introduction into 3D modeling and a good resource to introduce to a patient to create their own project. <br />
<br />
===[https://www.blender.org/ Blender]===<br />
A free program revolving around 3D modeling and animation. A bit more in depth then other software, requiring time spend watching tutorials or simply messing around to get a feel for the process. Users can modify models on the mesh level by adjust vectors and face or use the sculpting mode for a more artistic approach. Will load most complex STL files and is a great way to combine two models into one (e.g. a [[lithophane]] and a stand).<br />
<br />

== Summary ==<br />
3D printers are tools to help bring 3D models or scans into the real world. While the technology has been present for numerous years, it has only been in the past few years that this technology has been available to the consumer market. Becoming more affordable, accessible, and applicable to almost every industry (e.g., local libraries, schools, and even individuals owning a 3D printer for as little as a few hundred dollars). In the healthcare setting, these machines have near limitless use potential from simply being a fun "toy factory", unique end product for an art/design project, resource for adaptive and medical education equipment, a personalized keepsake from a bereavement experience or several other uses your team or adjacent departments can dream up. <br />
<br />
The most common steps involved with 3D printing, from start to finish, is the creation of a 3D model, conversion into a sliceable code, printing, and post processing. For each step, there are a variety of options, and subsequent learning curve that makes picking a printer, software program, and 3D model an important decision. Which is why it is a tool that perfectly fits the role of Game Techs, as most other hospital programs may not have the flexibility or bandwidth to tackle the education needed to fully utilize a 3D printing initiative within the healthcare settings. <br />
<br />
A 3D model is a digital representation of a three-dimensional object, surface, or scene created using specialized computer software. 3D models can be used for a variety for purposes, such as animation, gaming, prototyping, simulation, and visualization. Computer-aided design (CAD) is the primarily type of software application used to design, modify, analyze, and optimize designs in a virtual environment. 3D models are integral in 3D printing, it is the digital instructions that a 3D printer needs in order to create a physical object. <br />
<br />
==Best Practices==<br />
<br />
==== FDM vs SLA in Healthcare Settings ====<br />
There are a wide variety of commercially available 3D printing processes, that utilize a variety of techniques and materials to create a physical object from a digital model. In the non-clinical pediatric healthcare settings, there are two suitable technologies that standout: fused deposition modeling (FDM) and stereolithography (SLA).<br />
<br />
FDM is the most widely used and works by extruding thermoplastic filaments, through a heated nozzle to rapidly heat and cool plastic, building up the physical model layer by layer. FDM is the most popular process because offers the most simplicity, low cost, and versatility. Through FDM, a printer uses string-like plastic (known as filament) to print parts with layer height accuracy of 100-200 microns (0.1-0.2 mms) and minimal post-processing needs. <br />
<br />
SLA uses a UV layer to selectively cure a liquid resin, creating a physical object layer by layer out of a pool of liquid plastic. SLA primary difference from FDM, is that it uses light and liquid technology to develop parts with layer height accuracy as small as 25 microns (0.025mm), offering more detailed and complex geometries with finer features and smoother surfaces. However, this requires a much more in-depth and timely post-processing procedure in order to safely handle the final product. Known as curing and washing, these steps use potentially harmful liquid solutions that require ventilation, gloves, and other protective equipment. <br />
<br />
Overall FDM is likely the best initial fit for use in the non-clinical healthcare setting, as it has a simplified workflow process and does not require extensive safety accommodations. However, every program is different in needs and accommodations, so it is helpful to know if your hospital program has alternative locations/workshops/etc - potentially opening the door to the variety of 3D printing technologies available. <br />
<br />
===Models/Scans as PHI===<br />
(This section will be a general rule of thumb, please remember to always check with your specific hospital's guidelines and rules for topics on PHI/HIPAA). PHI concerns primarily come in the following form:<br />
<br />
* '''3D Scans'''<br />
** The primary concern with scans regards the act of photographing and converting 2D images of the patient (whether it be partial body, full body, with/without family members, etc) into 3D renders. From facial scans to fingerprints, there are many identifiable features that may or may not fall under PHI/HIPAA concerns.<br />
<br />
* '''Printing Patient Data'''<br />
** Many programs display the 3D printer and ongoing printing process to patients, families, and guests. When printing personalized data/models (e.g., patient scans, bereavement/legacy items, etc) please keep in my who may be able to see the end product.<br />
<br />
* '''Storage of Patient Data'''<br />
** The largest concern lies in how data is stored, what is stored, and who has access to it. Metadata used to label the 3D model/file should always be anonymized (e.g., patient name, date of birth, etc). Other considerations, many 3D printing slicers, programs, and companies are moving to a cloud storage solution, which increases the security risk for data leaks and the need for the cloud service providers on behalf of healthcare providers to ensure confidentiality, integrity, and availability of PHI stored. For more information on [https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/special-topics/cloud-computing/index.html HIPAA cloud-computing] and general [https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/security/guidance/index.html HIPAA security guidance]<br />
<br />
<br />
While many hospitals have various operating procedures and standards, consent forms are always a safe step in ensuring and protecting staff and the hospital in a similar capacity as to when photography and videography is used.<br />
<br />
==Recommended Uses==<br />
===Normalization/Play===<br />
A 3D printer can simply be a fun way to engage and play with a patient while they are hospitalized. The "wow" factor is typically enough to ice break most interactions and there are numerous fun and free models available on the internet to print favorite characters, and fun fidgets. It is also can be a great expression tool where a patient can create a 3D model in [[Tinkercad]] or in a VR sculpting program and then have the physical end product. This can be great for extended admissions or "frequent fliers" to have long term projects to work on while hospitalized. Patients and families will often come up with fun and unique ideas once they wrap their head around what a 3D printer can do, so ask away! Below are some examples shared by numerous programs:<br />
<br />
* A 3D scan of a siblings face was added to a generic game piece and used in numerous games the patient and sibling would play over video chat.<br />
* A patient explored options for IV line management, as they were often frustrated as things would get tangled and independently found carabiner clip models to print. <br />
<br />
===Medical Play/Education===<br />
Medical play and education is large aspect of how a Child Life Specialists can help a patient and their family cope with being in the healthcare environment. Utilization of real medical materials is particularly helpful as it gives a concrete experience for the child and allows them to explore what actually be used for their care, thus making it less surprising/scary. However medical items are typically expensive and unique items such as trachs or g-tubes are in limited supply for teaching and typically the patient is not able to keep said item after an education session. Using 3D printing, models of these items can be printed to real life specs and used in sessions with patients who in turn can keep them at bedside to continue medical play even after the CCLS has left the room. Models can also be scaled up to explore aspects in greater details or scaled down to fit teddy bears or medical dolls. While the exact textures and colors may be different then the real models, 3D printed models will still provide a positive impact. Meet with your child life team to explore what items would be most utilized and explore modeling the item yourself or use program curated collections list below.<br />

<br />
===Adaptive Equipment===<br />
Adaptive equipment is often expensive and at time difficult to obtain in the health care setting. While some devices are complex and tailored to the individually, others can be fairly simplistic and universal. 3D printing allows a quick/cheap resource for patients and can help them participate in other distracting/normalizing activities while hospitalized. These devices may be only needed temporarily if a patient is simply weak from treatment/recovery or preeminent due to a diagnosis or injury. It will likely be beneficial to consult your child life, rehabilitation, or orthotics teams to explore current needs/deficits. That being said simple tools like grips can be helpful in art or music therapy sessions and there are numerous options that can be utilized with gaming and other tech that would be utilized gaming focused bedside sessions. Here are a few models or curated collections that may be helpful. <br />

<br />
===Legacy/Bereavement Items===<br />
3D printing can provide unique and powerful keepsakes in memory making for a family. This is a difficult and nuanced experience which often has social workers, Chaplins, or child life specialists being the main emotional support during these experiences. Touching with these teams or your hospital palliative care department is a good first step to explore how 3D printing can help during the experiences. From there it is important to establish a referral system, realistic time lines, and print limits for this process to be sustainable. Often one may be tempted to be over accommodating due to weight of these interactions, but having clearly defined and upheld limits is important. We have listed some common model type/techniques that programs use in Legacy Building/Bereavement referrals. <br />

<br />
== Policies & Procedures==<br />
===Sanitizing===<br />
It is rare that direct interaction with a 3D printer would be necessary for a patient or patient's room, so ignoring day to day cleaning, sanitizing is not a concern. As for models, prints are typically inexpensive so models given to patients should often be treated as giveaways and will not be sanitized. <br />

ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is another commonly used 3D printer material. Best used for making durable parts that need to withstand higher temperatures.<br />
<br />
'''Typical Temp Range:''' 230±10 °C<br />
<br />
'''Heated Bed:''' 90±10 °C<br />
<br />
'''Ventilation:''' Likely, fumes aren't toxic but do smell<br />
<br />
'''Pros''': strong heat/UV resistant prints, can be post process with acetone for a glossy finish<br />
<br />
'''Cons:''' prone to warping so may require an enclosure, stinky fumes<br />
<br />
===PET (PETG)===<br />
PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) is almost a combination of the ease of use of PLA with the durability of ABS.<br />
<br />
'''Typical Temp Range:''' 245±10 °C<br />
<br />
'''Heated Bed:''' Not required<br />
<br />
'''Ventilation:''' Not required<br />
<br />
'''Pros''': stronger then PLA, barley warps, no odor, more transparent then other materials, <br />
<br />
'''Cons:''' harder to clean during post-processing, can get stuck to print bed, very hygroscopic so requires a dry box for storage or drying before use<br />
<br />
===TPU===<br />
TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) is an elastic, oil/grease resistant, and abrasion-resistant material with a shore hardness of 95A. This materials is great for grips, cases, and other item that require more flexibility <br />
<br />
'''Typical Temp Range:''' 220±10 °C (can depend on brand)<br />
<br />
'''Heated Bed:''' 40±10 °C<br />
<br />
'''Ventilation:''' Not required<br />
<br />
'''Pros''': elastic/soft material, low warp-age/shrinkage, <br />
<br />
'''Cons:''' difficult to print, prone to clogging particularly with systems using a bowden extruder, difficult to post-process especially support removal, hygroscopic so requires a dry box for storage or drying before use<br />
<br />
===ASA===<br />
Acrylonitrile styrene acrylate (ASA) was developed as an alternative to ABS. With a number of additional features, like improved weather resistance and resistance to yellowing from UVs, making it an excellent choice for parts or prints meant for outdoor use.<br />
<br />
'''Typical Temp Range:''' 250±10 °C<br />
<br />
'''Heated Bed:''' 90±10 °C<br />
<br />
'''Ventilation:''' Likely, fumes aren't toxic but do smell (less then ABS)<br />
<br />
'''Pros''': strong heat/UV resistant prints, post processed with acetone,<br />
<br />
'''Cons:''' prone to warping so may require an enclosure, stinky fumes, hygroscopic so requires a dry box for storage or drying before use<br />
