Processes in Biomedical
Engineering
This book covers innovative breakthroughs in additive manufacturing processes
used for biomedical engineering. More and more, 3D printing is selected over
traditional manufacturing processes, especially for complex designs, because of the
many advantages, such as fewer restrictions, better production cost savings, higher
quality control, and accuracy.
Current challenges and opportunities regarding material, design, cost savings,
and efficiency are covered along with an outline of the most recent fabrication
methods used for converting biomaterials into integrated structures that can fit best
in anatomy while still obtaining the necessary architecture, mechanical reliability,
biocompatibility, and antibacterial characteristics needed. Additional chapters
also focus on selected areas of applications, such as bionics, affordable prostheses,
implants, medical devices, rapid tooling, and drug delivery.
Additive Manufacturing Processes in Biomedical Engineering: Advanced
Fabrication Methods and Rapid Tooling Techniques acts as a firsthand reference
for commercial manufacturing organizations which are mimicking tissue organs by
using additive manufacturing techniques. By capturing the current trends of today’s
manufacturing practices this book becomes a one-stop resource for manufacturing
professionals, engineers in related disciplines, and academic researchers.

Series Editors
Chander Prakash, Sunpreet Singh,
Seeram Ramakrishna, and Linda Yongling Wu
This book series offers the reader comprehensive insights of recent research
breakthroughs in additive, subtractive, and hybrid technologies while emphasizing
their sustainability aspects. Sustainability has become an integral part of all
manufacturing enterprises to provide various techno-social pathways toward
developing environmental friendly manufacturing practices. It has also been found
that numerous manufacturing firms are still reluctant to upgrade their conventional
practices to sophisticated sustainable approaches. Therefore this new book series is
aimed to provide a globalized platform to share innovative manufacturing mythologies
and technologies. The books will encourage the eminent issues of the conventional
and non-conventual manufacturing technologies and cover recent innovations.
