Three-Step Thermal Drawing for Rapid Prototyping of Highly Customizable Microneedles for Vascular Tissue Insertion

Sirolimus: A Rapid Treatment for Coagulopathy Because of Vascular Malformations

Design of a Portable and Customizable Microprocessor for Rapid System Prototyping

Due to the increasing number of processors which are integrated in System On Chips (SOCs) the need for robust, highly configurable processors emerged. Preliminary research showed that commercial processors are not suited for many research projects due to the fact that they are closed source and they can not be modified. Open source processors on the other hand appeared to be of too low quality....

A review of rapid prototyping techniques for tissue engineering purposes.

Rapid prototyping (RP) is a common name for several techniques, which read in data from computer-aided design (CAD) drawings and manufacture automatically three-dimensional objects layer-by-layer according to the virtual design. The utilization of RP in tissue engineering enables the production of three-dimensional scaffolds with complex geometries and very fine structures. Adding micro- and na...

Fabrication of Tissue Engineering Using Rapid Prototyping

Rapid prototyping (RP) techniques are a group of advanced manufacturing processes that can produce custom made objects directly from computer data such as Computer Aided Design (CAD), Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) data. Using RP fabrication techniques, constructs with controllable and complex internal architecture with appropriate mechanical properties can be ach...

Rapid Prototyping for Robotics

The design of robotic mechanisms is a complex process involving geometric, kinematic, dynamic, tolerance and stress analyses. In the design of a real system, the construction of a physical prototype is often considered. Indeed, a physical prototype helps the designer to identify the fundamental characteristics and the potential pitfalls of the proposed architecture. However, the design and fabr...
