Additional Accessibility Information

All (or substantially all) textual matter is arranged in a single logical reading order (including text that is visually presented as separate from the main text flow, e.g., in boxouts, captions, tables, footnotes, endnotes, citations, etc.). Non-textual content is also linked from within this logical reading order. (Purely decorative non-text content can be ignored).
The language of the text has been specified (e.g., via the HTML or XML lang attribute) to optimise text-to-speech (and other alternative renderings), both at the whole document level and, where appropriate, for individual words, phrases or passages in a different language.
For readers with color vision deficiency, use of color (e.g., in diagrams, graphics and charts, in prompts, or on buttons inviting a response) is not the sole means of graphical distinction or of conveying information
Content is enhanced with ARIA roles to optimize organization and facilitate navigation
Where interactive content is included in the product, controls are provided (e.g., for speed, pause and resume, reset) and labelled to make their use clear.

3D Printing of Biomaterials is a multidisciplinary resource for researchers and students alike, providing an essential introduction to 3D printing and relevant materials, as well as materials processing, manufacturing techniques, characterizations, and biomedical and pharmaceutical applications. The book explores the significant impact 3D printing has in innovating biomaterials and the next generation of biomedical devices, from patient-matched devices and surgical models to tissue engineering, drug delivery, and the on-demand manufacturing of metallic implants. A range of different biomaterials are covered, including metals, polymers, and ceramics are discussed.

Finally, how 3D printing technology is applied to solve clinical challenges is discussed in specific areas such as tissue engineering, load-bearing implants, or drug delivery. With the aid of learning objectives and study questions in each chapter, the book helps students and professionals understand critical issues relating to 3D printing of biomaterials, enabling them to apply this knowledge and solve upcoming and long-standing medical challenges.
