COMPUTER AIDED BIOMANUFACTURING

Due to the rapid advances over the past few years in the field of rapid prototyping, the crucial information for researchers in the field is scattered throughout numerous journals and thus not readily available. This carefully compiled collection of selected articles from the top Wiley-Blackwell journals on the topic of rapid prototyping provides the fundamentals necessary to comprehend current rapid prototyping technologies while also developing new ones.
From the contents:
* History of Rapid Prototyping in Medicine
* Use of Imaging Modalities in Rapid Prototyping
* Computer-Assisted Modeling of Tissues
* Fused Deposition Modeling
* Inkjet Printing
* Stereolithography Apparatus and other Photopolymerization Techniques
* Selective Laser Sintering
* Materials Used in Rapid Prototyping
* Future Developments
With an extensive introduction and comments by the editors, this reference covers all relevant aspects so as to suit the audience's, bridging the gap between related disciplines.

The editors:
Professor Paul Calvert, after his graduation at MIT, has served at various institutions, e.g. the University of Arizona before assuming his position at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. His research projects comprise e.g. bio-mimetic materials, diffusion and permeability in polymers, intelligent materials, conducting polymers, and tissue engineering. As editorial board member for the Journal Advanced Materials he is well experienced with publishing and entrenched with the community.
Roger Narayan is Associate Professor at the Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering of North Carolina State University. Earlier assignments have taken him e.g. to Oak Ridge National Lab. His research centers on biomedical engineering including biomaterials and nanoscale systems, intelligent systems, biomedical sensors, as well as nanoelectronics and photonics. He also has publishing experience with Journal boards.
