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. Sections cover 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, and much more. 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.
