Characteristics of medical implants 3D-printing

Abstract

Development of new materials suitable for the formation of implants via 3D-printing, as well as stimulating biological tissues regeneration, is an urgent problem in traumatology, neurosurgery, andrology and urology. The article discusses the possibilities of improving the quality of 3D-printed implants by using paste-like thermoplastic compositions, as well as using ultrasound and a rotating magnetic field to prevent changes in viscosity in extruders for 3D-printers.
