This new edition focuses on modeling and manufacturing in the field of prototyping and bio manufacturing. The principles utilized draw heavily from more traditional engineering fields including mechanical, industrial, civil (structures), electrical, and bio engineering. Written for engineers and academics seeking a comprehensive overview of virtual prototyping and rapid prototyping, this book discusses in detail applications related to surgery, medical imaging, tissue engineering, bone replacement, and more. Seven new chapters address:
Brings together all of the important aspects of virtual and rapid prototyping relative to medical applications in a cohesive manner
Provides a comprehensive overview of virtual prototyping and rapid prototyping techniques
Covers applications of rapid prototyping in detail including the dental, cardiovascular and biomaterial areas
