Design and development of bio-medical devices using rapid prototyping techniques

Many drug regimes must be carefully dosed as they are either too complicated to be self –administered or face low compliance by the patients themselves. This gives rise to controlled-release drug delivery devices (DDD). New techniques in solid freeform fabrication (SFF) have prompted research in met...

Description
Summary:Many drug regimes must be carefully dosed as they are either too complicated to be self –administered or face low compliance by the patients themselves. This gives rise to controlled-release drug delivery devices (DDD). New techniques in solid freeform fabrication (SFF) have prompted research in methods of manufacturing and controlling porosity.
