From the Back Cover

This new edition focuses on modeling and manufacturing in the field of prototyping and bio manufacturing. The principles utilized draw heavily from more traditional engineering fields including mechanical, industrial, civil (structures), electrical, and bio engineering. Written for engineers and academics seeking a comprehensive overview of virtual prototyping and rapid prototyping, this book discusses in detail applications related to surgery, medical imaging, tissue engineering, bone replacement, and more. Seven new chapters address:

• Two-photon polymerization for tissue engineering
• Molding in medicine
• Organ printing
• Skin printing
• Nerve regeneration and spinal injury repair
• Cartilage regeneration
• And structural analysis of the human shoulder
