Case studies on specialized topics are described and readers are provided with the information they need to understand in order to design, fabricate and test additive manufacturing biomaterials for a variety of applications. Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, is a rapidly developing technology that is revolutionizing the way we design and manufacture products. AM technologies allow for the creation of complex shapes and structures that would be impossible to produce using traditional manufacturing methods. AM technologies are particularly well-suited for the fabrication of biomaterials, as they allow for the creation of custom-designed devices and implants that are tailored to the specific needs of individual patients. Additive Manufacturing of Biomaterials and Their Behavior: From Fundamentals to Applications provides a comprehensive overview of the topic – the technologies and potential applications.
- For clinicians, researchers and industry professionals the book provides insights into the latest developments in the additive manufacturing of biomaterials and their potential for improving patient care and developing new treatments
- Provides information on the fundamentals of biomaterials and additive manufacturing, as well as the latest advances and applications in the field
- The book is written with a practical focus, providing readers with the information they need to design, fabricate, and test additive manufactured biomaterials. Case studies on specialized topics are described
- Current information on the adoption of the newly formed ISO/ASTM standards for the evaluation of biomaterials is included
Industry professionals, clinicians and researchers seeking practical information on the design, fabrication and testing of additive manufactured biomaterials
