Additive manufacturing of individual bone implants made of bioresorbable calcium phosphate cement using the example of large skull defects
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 16 May 2024
Abstract
In the field of individualized medical implants for bone replacesment, additive manufacturing offers far-reaching advantages for bridging bone defects and supporting the production of natural form and function. The article uses the example of a large, customized cranial implant to show the challenges of manufacturing with osteoinductive bone cements. The process is shown, starting with planning and design, through to functional integration using adapted manufacturing strategies to create defined porosity.
