Biomedical Implants: Materials, Design, and Manufacturing

This book covers the development of implants from selection of material to outcome following various steps, including biocompatible material, synthesis, and characterization, compatibility and limitations of materials, specific Implants and Finite Element Analysis of Medical Implants. It also presents the comparison between predictions and experimental results by studying the real-world problems, addresses the issue of sustainability in implant manufacturing, process modeling, and optimization in additive manufacturing supported by case studies. Features: Covers development of implant from selection of material to the suitable process of manufacturing technologies Includes biocompatible material, synthesis, and characterization, compatibility, and limitations of materials Reviews biofabrication in terms of Artificial organs and Soft Tissues Discusses implant manufacturing including additive and micro-manufacturing and failure analysis through case studies Addresses the issue of sustainability in implant manufacturing This book is aimed at researchers and graduate students in mechanical, biomedical, healthcare engineering, biomaterials, and additive manufacturing.
