A new 3D-printing process has allowed researchers to tailor-make artificial body parts and other medical devices with built-in functionality.

New 3D Printing Process Helps Create Customized Medical Devices Written by AZoMJun 11 2021 Researchers from the University of Nottingham have used a new 3D printing process to customize artificial body parts and other medical instruments with integrated functions. These functions provide better shape and durability, and at the same time, reduce the risk of bacterial infection. A bacteria-repelling artificial finger joint with customized strength distribution made with the multi-material 3D pri...
