Tridimensional titanium-printed custom-made prosthesis for sternocostal reconstruction.
A broad range of materials have been described for sternal reconstruction in order to guarantee not only the best preservation of respiratory mechanics, but also adequate mediastinal protection and acceptable cosmetic results. Today, titanium implants are preferred by many surgeons because of their optimal features. As a step forward, tridimensional (3D) laser sintering printing techniques allo...
متن کاملApplication of a 3D custom printed patient specific spinal implant for C1/2 arthrodesis.
The study aims to describe a three-dimensional printed (3DP) posterior fixation implant used for C1/C2 fusion in a 65-year-old female. Spinal fusion remains a common intervention for a range of spinal pathologies including degenerative disc and facet disease when conservative methods are unsuccessful. However, fusion devices are not always entirely efficacious in providing the desired fixation,...
متن کاملAcoustic properties of 3D printed bio-degradable micro-perforated panels made of Corkwood Fiber-Reinforced composites
Introduction: Micro perforated panel (MPP) absorbents promise the next generation of sound absorbers as they have significant advantages over other porous adsorbents. In this study, we will investigate the acoustic performance of MPP absorbents made of biodegradable polylactic acid composite reinforced with natural corkwood fibers (PLA/Corkwood) by 3D printing technology. Material and Methods:...
متن کاملSurgical pitfalls with custom-made porous hydroxyapatite cranial implants
Aim: Cranioplasty implants are used primarily in cases of surgical cranial decompression following pathological elevations of intracranial pressure. Available bone substitutes include porous hydroxyapatite (HA) and polymethylmethacrylate. Whichever material is used, however, prosthetic cranial implants are susceptible to intraand postsurgical complications and even failure. The aim of this stud...
متن کاملCustom 3D-Printed Rollers for Frieze Pattern Cookies
Inspired by ancient Near Eastern cylinder seals, we describe a method for converting images of repeating patterns, e.g., Roman friezes or Escher tessellations, into 3D-printed rollers for shaping custom-designed cookies. The rollers may be used as a math club activity to make cookies for a math event and can also be used in other creative works, e.g., imprinting ceramics and similar materials. ...
