This book aims to give readers a basic understanding of commonly used additive manufacturing techniques as well as the tools to fully utilise the strengths of additive manufacturing through the modelling and design phase all the way through to post processing. Guidelines for 3D printed biomedical implants are also provided. Current biomedical applications of 3D printing are discussed, including indirect applications in the rapid manufacture of prototype tooling and direct applications in the orthopaedics, cardiovascular, drug delivery, ear-nose-throat, and tissue engineering fields.
Polymer-Based Additive Manufacturing: Biomedical Applications is an ideal resource for students, researchers, and those working in industry seeking to better understand the medical applications of additive manufacturing.
Addresses the unique regularity hurdles for direct digital manufactured parts for customized medical devices
Covers in detail recent technological advances as well as rapid tooling for mass manufacturing
Provides a thorough overview of customized medicine and implants, including drug loading, ear implants, tissue engineering, bone, and dental
