“…The armpit area was selected to develop a complex sweat glands module [1]. Regarding the AM possibilities, various scientific papers shown that 3D printing technologies can produce complex prototypes for different applications under the "layer by layer" principle [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. Comparing with conventional manufacturing methods [12][13][14], 3D printing provides reduced time to market, lower product development costs, and improved design process [15].…”

Digital manufacturing (DM) processes such as additive manufacturing (AM) technology, allow a high degree of integrability and functionality of printed parts. In this work, we present a proof of the DM concept focused on the integration approach where a product is developed and embedded with sensors. We also take this example one step further and introduce a method that allows 3D printing of heating elements into the specimens. The thermal characteristics of the developed heaters are investigated, and the results detailed. The novelty relates to a heater prototype injected and solidified into a curved 3D printed channel, which can produce a temperature between 23-46°C on the printed surface of the sample both in a dry and wet environment. This research demonstrates that it is possible to construct parts with embedded electrical structures using the described method.

“…for each type of material tested for producing different types of customized medical implants by using this technology [10,11]. In order to determine the influence of the process parameters on the mechanical properties of the SLS parts, researchers have tried to use different approaches to obtain better results regarding the process [12]. Many researchers have varied the laser power or scanning speed and maintained constant the other parameters to determine their influence on the mechanical properties of the manufactured parts [13,14].…”

Abstract. This paper presents a series of research that have been made by the authors in the field of medical implants realized from PA 2200 powder material using the Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) method. Several sets of samples differently oriented into the working area of the machine were manufactured from PA 2200 by SLS, in order to determine which is the recommended orientation to be used during the manufacturing process, in such a way that at the end the mechanical properties (e.g. Compressive strength, Young's modulus, etc.) will be as closed as possible to the ones of the human bones. The obtained results were further on used in the case of a medical implant (Acetabular liner) that was manufactured at the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca (TUCN) from PA 2200 material using the DTM Sinterstation 2000 SLS equipment.
