Additive manufacturing and tissue engineering applications are fields of science and technology that manufacture biocompatible, customized, reliable, and cost-effective parts to restore the functionality of a failed human body part. This book offers a platform for recent breakthroughs in additive manufacturing related to biomedical applications.
This book highlights some of the top innovations and advances in additive manufacturing and processing technologies that have made such efficiency possible, while also presenting current challenges and opportunities regarding the choice of material. This book includes such areas of application as surgical guides, tissue regeneration, artificial scaffolds, implants, and drug delivery and release. Throughout the book, an emphasis is placed on rapid tooling for engineering applications.
Additive Manufacturing of Polymers for Tissue Engineering: Fundamentals, Applications, and Future Advancements acts as a first-hand source of information for academic scholars and commercial manufacturers to use as they make strategic manufacturing and development plans.
