Additive Manufacturing in Healthcare: A Practical Perspective

Additive Manufacturing in Healthcare: A Practical Perspective offers practitioners the practical know-how to enable them to use the different technologies involved in additively joining materials to form tangible parts, based on their computer-aided design (CAD) models for both healthcare and biomedical engineering applications. Additive Manufacturing is a completely disruptive technology in general and is growing exponentially in medicine and dentistry. For practitioners in the healthcare sector who are not familiar with this new technology, readers can follow the easy-to-understand workflow presented. They will learn how to move, for example, from segmentation to 3D reconstruction, and eventually to 3D printed parts of human anatomy. Offers readers an in-depth look into the practical workflows which show how additive manufacturing is applied to satisfy end-use requirementsIncludes more than 300 step-by-step figures across healthcare and biomedical engineering, which clarify the different phases of workflow involved in realizing a layered manufactured part from its CAD modelExplores how additive manufacturing can be applied across the healthcare sector (medicine, digital dentistry, orthotics and prosthetics) as well as what are the key barrier to implementation INDICE: 1.
