3D printed PLA Army-Navy retractors when used as linear retractors yield clinically acceptable tolerances

Abstract Background Modern low-cost 3D printing technologies offer the promise of access to surgical tools in resource scarce areas, however optimal designs for manufacturing have not yet been established. We explore how the optimization of 3D printing parameters when manufacturing polylactic acid f...
