Synopsis

Additive Manufacturing Solutions for Advanced Veterinary Practices: Clinical Dentistry, Orthopedic, and Drug Delivery Methods highlights cost- and time-saving 3D printing methods and materials for application on a broad array of veterinary patients and procedures. Additive manufacturing of sensors, biodegradable dental implants, smart dental implants, joint implants, and drug-delivery materials are each covered, as are biomimetic, augmented reality, and virtual reality approaches. Varied additive manufacturing processes and techniques are covered, with each chapter including at least one case study that shows the material covered being put into practical use.

• Outlines additive manufacturing techniques and materials for use in an array of veterinary applications
• Includes methods for the 3D printing of polymers, metals, composites, and gels, along with details on their mechanical, morphological, thermal, and rheological properties
• Discusses time- and cost-saving approaches to working with canines, bovines, equines, felines, aves, and other animals
