Many medical implantable devices fabricated using additive manufacturing (AM) technology are already in use in the medical field. The figure shows the clinical application of AM in medical metal ...

Researchers have demonstrated the 3-D printing of shape-shifting structures that can fold or unfold to reshape themselves when exposed to heat or electricity, an approach also known as '4-D printing.' ...

Comprised of biocompatible metal or biodegradable polymers, stents bear a complex geometry, enabling them to act as effective scaffolds. As they must be able to push against the internal walls of the ...

Ali Raza, an Engineering graduate student, studied the corrosion behavior of additively manufactured (AM) Cobalt Chrome (CoCr) in heart stents. Additive manufacturing is a process of 3D printing ...

New research about possible additive drugs to help reduce the reclosing of an artery after a metal stent has been inserted to keep it open was presented at the American College of Cardiology's ...

Medical implants are an ideal field for 3D printing, requiring the rapid manufacture of highly intricate and customizable products. Research in additive manufacturing continues to improve the quality ...
