香港醫學博物館針灸銅人 Bronze Acupuncture Man by 3D Printing HKMMS
我國的針灸銅人 可能在短期內不能歸國 但是香港的醫學博物館 現在用3d打印技術 做了一個新的針灸銅人 上面也有穴道 利用現代的定位方法 用者只要用探針儀器接觸到穴位 電腦便會有反應顯示
我們很高興 香港醫學博物館可以利用新的電腦技術 造成新的針灸銅人 希望電腦及3d打印的技術 可以繼續為醫學的進展出一分力
One thousand years ago, the Sung .emperor ordered 2 bronze statues to be built with acupuncture points and meridians engraved on it. They accurately recorded the acupuncture points in 3D. 3 of the models were lost in wars and one was now in a museum in St Petersberg, possibly looted during the 8 countries expedition in 1900.
The Hong Kong Museum of Medical Sciences in Pound Lane opened its Acupuncture Bronze man last month. It was produced by scanning and 3D printing (using bronze). It also had acupuncture points on the surface. If one touches the points with a probe, the tracking system will detect the contact and responded.
This is a good example of Medical Computing.
