About this ebook

"3D Printing of Biomaterials is a multidisciplinary resource for researchers and students alike, providing an essential introduction to 3D printing and relevant materials, as well as materials processing, manufacturing techniques, characterizations, and biomedical and pharmaceutical applications. This book explores the significant impact 3D printing has in innovating biomaterials and the next generation of biomedical devices, from patient-matched devices and surgical models to tissue engineering, drug delivery, and on-demand manufacturing of metallic implants. A range of different biomaterials are covered, including metals, polymers, and ceramics are discussed. Finally, how 3D Printing technology is applied to solve clinical challenges is discussed in specific areas such as tissue engineering, load-bearing implants, or drug delivery. With the aid of learning objectives and study questions in each chapter, "3D Printing of Biomaterials helps students and professionals understand critical issues relating to 3D printing of biomaterials, enabling them to apply this knowledge and solve upcoming and long-standing medical challenges.• Introduces the fundamental principles of 3D printing and biomaterials • Discusses progress and current challenges related to 3D printing of different types of biomaterials, including polymers, metals, and ceramics • Reviews applications of 3D printing in various biomedical devices, including direct cell-based bioprinting • Details regulatory aspects and clinical challenges of 3D printed biomaterials • Promotes learning and understanding through learning objectives, practical examples, and study questions
