Additive Manufacturing for Medical Applications @IPPE|JKU

Description

Additive manufacturing is used for more and more applications besides rapid prototyping. Special advantages lie in the design freedom and toolless production, which can save development time and production costs. The toolless production enables cheaper production of individualized products which is beneficial for personalized medicine. In this talk, Additive Manufacturing techniques available at the Institute of Polymer Product Engineering will be introduced and applications for medical applications will be discussed. Direct and indirect additive manufacturing techniques will be presented on the examples of a mouth stick for people that cannot move their hands or arms, a patient fixation mask for radiotherapy and a training simulator for aneurysm clipping surgery for neurosurgeons.
