Full Description
This book explains usage of additive manufacturing (AM) for the printing of biomedical implants and prosthetics. It elaborates on the basics of printing biomedical implants and prosthetics, including necessity, printing processes, materials, and standards followed by discussion of involved technologies, design and optimization, and post-processing. It further highlights patient response and risks of biomedical implants, including future scope. Sustainability and environmental concerns while AM of implants and process optimization are also covered.
