Author Description

3D Printing Principles and Materials in Biomedicine Volume 2: Bioengineering and Biomedical Applications comprehensively covers the design, development and application of 3D-printed surgical models, prosthetics, and artificial organs. Divided into clear and accessible sections, this book guides the reader through each developmental stage, from printing technologies and materials selection to healthcare and bioengineering applications. Computational analysis and modelling in patient studies is examined, as well as tissue-by-tissue coverage of 3D-printed prosthetics, organoids, and whole organs. Regulatory aspects are discussed in detail, with a final look to future developments in this rapidly evolving field. Detailed case studies and methods are featured throughout the book, providing translational examples relevant to researchers, engineers, clinicians, and R&D professionals alike. - Offers an interdisciplinary introduction to 3D printing principles and applications in biomedicine, accessible to a broad audience - Covers a wide range of 3D-printed tissue and organ types, from bone, cartilage, and skin to whole organs such as the bladder, eye, and heart - Discusses scalability and regulatory considerations, as well as recent advances such as in situ bioprinting
