Optimization, Modeling, and Design Conditions for 3D‐Printed Implants and Fixation Devices

Résumé fourni par la source

The innovation of 3D printing has greatly impacted the healthcare sector, especially in making implants and fixation gadgets. This paper aims to establish optimal parameters, models, and designs for further improvements in 3D-printed medical devices. The optimization process considers the material's choice, the produced part's structure, and a high level of control in the printing process to achieve mechanical characteristics and biocompatibility. To design the implant methodologies like finite element analysis and computational simulations are used to predict the behavior of the implant under the physiological conditions and bring solid modifications. The work also highlights the need for design conditions due to different anatomy of the patients; another advantage of 3D printing is that it can produce architecture and frameworks. By introducing these optimization strategies, modeling approaches, and design considerations, this work would like to improve the long-term, reliable, and patient-specific implants and fixation devices and enhance patients’ quality of life in orthopedic and reconstructive operations.
