3D Printing in Medicine, Second Edition, examines the rapidly growing market of 3D-printed biomaterials and their clinical applications. With a particular focus on both commercial and premarket tools, the book looks at their applications within medicine and the future outlook for the field. The book begins with a discussion of the fundamentals of 3D printing, including topics such as materials, and hardware. Later chapters go on to cover applications within medicine such as computational analysis of 3D printed constructs, personalized 3D printing and 3D cell and organ printing, with a subsequent look at the applications of 3D printing in diagnostics, drug development, 3D-printed disease models and 3D printers for surgical practice. This updated new edition features completely revised content, with additional new chapters covering organs-on-chips, bioprinting regulations and standards, and socio-ethical implications of organs-on-demand. With a strong focus on the translation of 3D printing technology to a clinical setting, this book is a valuable resource for scientists and engineers working in biomaterial, biomedical and engineering based industries and academia. Reviews a broad range of biomedical applications of 3D printing biomaterials and technologies Provides an interdisciplinary look at 3D printing in medicine, bridging the gap between engineering and clinical fields Includes completely updated content with additional new chapters, covering topics such as organs-on-chips, bioprinting regulations and more
