3D Printing in Podiatric Medicine

3D Printing in Podiatric Medicine compiles a diversified and interdisciplinary range of scientific literature, laboratory developments, industrial implications, and futuristic avenues of this field. This book provides the most recent developments and research breakthroughs of 3D printing in podiatric medicine such as functionalized feedstock systems, smart products, process characteristics, modelling and optimization of printed systems and products, and industrial applications. It covers best practices for 3D printing methods to capture, document, and validate challenges at the early stage of the design process. The content then goes into mitigating design strategies to address these challenges without compromising the cost, safety, and quality of the device. This book supports new and emerging specializations and provides a comprehensive collection of technical notes, research designs, design methods and processes, and case studies. This book is the first to provide multidisciplinary coverage of the application of 3D printing technology in podiatric medicine. This book will help designers, engineers, clinicians, main-stream healthcare professionals, ergonomists, ancillary healthcare professionals, manufacturing enterprises, and research scholars understand the real potential of 3D Printing.
