Revolutionizing Bone Grafting: A Survey of 3D Printed Solutions
Abstract: Due to the limits of conventional grafts, large bone deficiencies resulting from illness or trauma continue to be a significant clinical challenge. Autografts, while osteoconductive and osteoinductive, are limited by donor availability and morbidity, and allografts/xenografts carry risks of immune rejection and disease transmission. In contrast, 3D printing (additive manufacturing) enables fabrication of patient-specific bone scaffolds with controlled architecture, composition, and bioactivity. Using techniques, like selective laser sintering (SLS), stereolithography …

Reactor-Made Polypropylene for 3D Printing: A Low-Crystallinity Approach
Abstract: 3D printing is technology that enables the complex structure, which is difficult in conventional technique. However, relatively slow manufacturing process and using of limited polymeric material leads to attention of scientist towards newer cost-effective material and technology. In this study, we overcome this issue by synthesizing reactor-made polypropylene (mPP) using Dimethylsilylene-(cyclopentadienyl) (fluorenyl)-zirconium-dichloride metallocene catalyst. The polymerization process was systematically optimized by varying Al/Zr molar ratios, catalyst concentrations, and temperatures to …

Overview Of 3D Printing Technology with Different Materials and Applications
Abstract: The aim of the project is to perform thermal analysis of the 3D printed model using SOLIDWORKS 2018, create the frame using cutting and drilling machines, and combine all parts of the frame using fasteners and fire electrical connection. When the 3D printer is built, the thermal efficiency of brake discs produced from PLA (polylactic acid) and carbon filaments will be analyzed. Also, parameters that do not work in CURA …
