Three-dimensional printing versus conventional machining in the creation of a meatal urethral dilator: development and mechanical testing
Abstract Background Three-dimensional (3D) printing is a promising technology, but the limitations are often poorly understood. We compare different 3D printing methods with conventional machining techniques in manufacturing meatal urethral dilators which were recently removed from the Australian ma...
