Additive manufacturing methods, materials and medical applications - the review
Abstract
The aim of the additive manufacturing (AM) is a production of physical objects by adding material layer-by-layer based on virtual geometry developed in the computer system. The main criteria for the division of additive manufacturing methods are the way to apply the layer and the type of construction material. In most projects, the choice of method is a compromise between costs and properties (e.g. physical, chemical or mechanical) of the manufactured object. Currently, AM methods have found application in many areas of life, including industrial design, automotive, aerospace, architecture, jewellery, medicine and veterinary medicine, bringing many innovative and revolutionary solutions. The purpose of this article is to review of the additive production methods and present the potential of medical application.
