Abstract
[...]there is always demand for patient-matched biomedical devices due to complex fractures, unique anatomy, or concerns related to allergies, just to name a few. While expectations are rising in equal measure, the most important challenge for 3D-printed biomaterials is to prove that they can perform at the same level as conventionally processed materials, and with reliable reproducibility. Since 3DP components are produced in a layer-by-layer manner, chances of defect accumulation during processing are much higher than with conventional manufacturing. Inherent surface roughness can be beneficial in some applications for 3D parts, but for many applications, such surface finish is not acceptable. [...]some finishing operation may be necessary for the final product.7 For 3D-printed ceramic elements, process optimization and reproducibility are still primary challenges.
