Book Excerpt : Additive Manufacturing in Healthcare: A Practical Perspective offers practitioners the "practical know-how" to enable the use of different technologies involved in additively joining materials to form tangible parts based on computer-aided design (CAD) models for both healthcare and biomedical engineering applications. Additive Manufacturing is a completely disruptive technology that is growing exponentially in medicine and dentistry. Written for practitioners in the healthcare sector who are not familiar with this new technology, this book provides an easy-to-understand workflow that covers, for example, how to move from segmentation to 3D reconstruction and even 3D printed parts of human anatomy. Offers readers an in-depth look into the practical workflows that show "how" additive manufacturing is applied to satisfy end-use requirements Includes more than 300 step-by-step figures across healthcare and biomedical engineering Explores how additive manufacturing can be applied across the healthcare sector (medicine, digital dentistry, orthotics and prosthetics), also exploring key barriers to implementation
