Polymer-Based Additive Manufacturing: Biomedical Applications

ISBN-13: 9783030245313 Publisher: Springer-Verlag New York, LLC Publication date: 09/16/2019 Edition description: 1st ed. 2019 Pages: 277 Product dimensions: 6.10(w) x 9.25(h) x (d) 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.
