Medical Applications of Rapid Prototyping Technology

Machine learning-guided morphological property prediction of 2D electrospun scaffolds: the effect of polymer chemical composition and processing parameters

“…4 In recent decades, a range of materials including polymers, metals, and ceramics have been utilized to fabricate scaffolds possessing morphological, microstructural, degradation, and bioactivity properties that fulfill the criteria for tissue engineering. 3,5 Many processing methods have been developed for fabricating scaffolds such as electrospinning, 6 rapid prototyping, 7 freeze drying, 8 phase separation, 9 particulate leaching, 10 and gas foaming. 11 Among these methods, electrospinning has emerged as one of the most promising techniques due to its unique characteristics, relative simplicity, and low cost.…”

Single-sized spheres on surfaces (S4)

“…Meshes of these data are then used to recreate the original designs. In the case of rapid prototyping, e.g., within medical applications, see [5], meshes from point clouds are used for instance in the process of prosthesis and implant development. In cultural sectors, such as art or architecture, see [21], scans of artifacts and their respective meshes are used for restoration or reconstruction.…”
