Biofunctional Glycol-Modified Polyethylene Terephthalate and Thermoplastic Polyurethane Implants by Extrusion-Based Additive Manufacturing for Medical 3D Maxillofacial Defect Reconstruction

Biofunctional Glycol-Modified Polyethylene Terephthalate and Thermoplastic Polyurethane Implants by Extrusion-Based Additive Manufacturing for Medical 3D Maxillofacial Defect Reconstruction

This work addresses the topic of extrusion-based additive manufacturing (filament-based material extrusion) of patient-specific biofunctional maxillofacial implants. The technical approach was chosen to overcome the shortcomings of medically established fabrication processes such as a limited availa...
