This book presents a state-of-the-art study of 3D-printing technologies for medical applications, with particular focus on the development of a computer-aided scaffold design system; the direct 3D printing of functionally graded scaffolds; the modelling of selective laser sintering (SLS) and fused deposition modelling (FDM) processes; the indirect additive manufacturing of scaffolds, with both micro and macro features. Technological limitations will be discussed so as to highlight the possibility of future improvements for ...

This book presents a state-of-the-art study of 3D-printing technologies for medical applications, with particular focus on the development of a computer-aided scaffold design system; the direct 3D printing of functionally graded scaffolds; the modelling of selective laser sintering (SLS) and fused deposition modelling (FDM) processes; the indirect additive manufacturing of scaffolds, with both micro and macro features. Technological limitations will be discussed so as to highlight the possibility of future improvements for new 3D-printing methodologies for Bone scaffold.
