3D Printing (3DP), also known as Additive Manufacturing (AM) offers unique benefits over conventional manufacturing technologies for processing biomaterials and fabricate biomedical devices. Apart from the ability of producing complex structures and rapid prototyping, 3DP/AM facilitates fabrication of personalized or patient-specific devices. This symposium will cover both oral and poster presentations to understand processing-structure-property-application relationships involving 3DP / AM of biomaterials under in vitro, in vivo, and in silico environments.
Suggested topical areas include, but not limited to
• 3DP of ceramic and metallic biomaterials
• 3DP of polymers and hydrogels
• 3DP in bone and dental tissue engineering
• 3DP in soft tissue engineering
• 3DP of materials for drug delivery
• 3DP of nano biomaterials
• 3DP in wound healing
• Surface modification of biomaterials and biomedical devices via 3D Printing
• Bioprinting, bioplotting and biofabrication
• 3DP of microelectronics for biomedical applications
• Mechanical properties of 3D printed biomaterials
• Modeling and simulation of 3D printed biomaterials and devices
• Patient-specific devices
• Regulatory concerns in 3DP of biomaterials and devices
