Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, is currently revolutionizing the way things are created and used in biomedical engineering, especially in the context of the regulated medical device industry. In this introductory course, we will focus on the materials and printing technologies used for additive manufacturing of medical devices as well as bioprinting, including developing skills needed for hands-on assembly and operation of extrusion-based 3D printing of low temperature polymers. The goal of this course is to provide students with basic hands-on skills and an overview of additive manufacturing in a biomedical engineering context, and to prepare students for independent research and investigation of more advanced topics in 3D printing of medical devices and implants.
