Additively manufactured patient-specific prosthesis for tumor reconstruction: Design, process, and properties.

Design and processing capabilities of additive manufacturing (AM) to fabricate complex geometries continues to drive the adoption of AM for biomedical applications. In this study, a validated design methodology is presented to evaluate AM as an effective fabrication technique for reconstruction of l...
