Biomaterials, anatomical modelling and solid freeform fabrication

Researchunit:

 

Description of the research activities

The research activity it is focused in the field of biomaterials and polymers. The biomaterials’ characterization and application of innovative manufacturing technologies are especially studied. Moreover, the research group is also dedicated to the anatomical modelling and 3D printing of custom made prostheses and scaffolds for application in tissue engineering starting from CT and MRI scan data. Free-form modelling, in fact, allows the design of custom made devices for clinical applications especially in the field of cranioplasty.
