Von der hinteren Coverseite

Rapid Prototyping of Biomaterials: Principles and Applications, Second Edition, provides a comprehensive review of established and emerging rapid prototyping technologies, such as bioprinting, for biomedical applications. Rapid prototyping, also known as additive manufacturing, solid freeform fabrication, or 3D printing, can be used to create complex structures and devices for medical applications from solid, powder, or liquid precursors. This edition is updated and expanded to include the very latest developments in additive manufacturing and applications in tissue engineering.

Following a useful introduction, which provides an overview of the field, the book explores a variety of materials for additive manufacturing. The second part of the book looks at applications of device manufacturing with a range of topics from drug discovery to tissue engineering printing technologies. The final group of chapters consider the use of rapid prototyping technologies for constructing organs.

With its distinguished editor and international team of renowned contributors, Rapid Prototyping of Biomaterials: Principles and Applications, second edition is a useful technical resource for scientists and researchers in the biomaterials and tissue regeneration industry, as well as in academia.
