International Journal of
Rapid Manufacturing 

Special Issue : Rapid
Manufacturing in Medical Application 

As
rapid prototyping (RP) technology has matured, it is beginning to lend itself
to other applications such as rapid tooling and rapid manufacturing. Some
traditional tool making methods are considering the use of RP technologies to directly
or indirectly fabricate tools. This is considered as a good alternative to the
traditional mould making since it is more efficient and requires less
lead-time. This approach is also less expensive and allows for quick validation
of designs. The next natural evolution of RP technology is rapid manufacturing
(RM). RM is the automated fabrication of the final products directly from CAD
data. RM, by some researchers, is called additive manufacturing since the end product
has the required functionality and quality. RM has been applied to different
sectors such as industrial (aerospace, automotive, military etc.), art
(jewelry, architecture, sculptures, etc.) and medical and healthcare (devices,
dental, implants, etc.). Healthcare represents the most diverse sector. RM has
been used to manufacture implants in hip replacement surgery and cranial
patches and other types such as maxiofacial implants for reconstructive
surgery. RM has also found applications in the manufacture of disposable
surgical cutting guides, fabrication of customized prosthetics and even used
for training and education of medical students. 

The
purpose of this special issue is to provide a comprehensive collection of the
latest research and technical work in the area of rapid manufacturing related
to the medical application. Scope
includes but is not limited to: 


 Methods and technologies  
 Material and biomaterial
     capabilities  
 Input and data analysis  
 CAD/CAE  
 Hardware and software
     issues  
 Process accuracy  
 Medical devices  
 Surgical application  
 Implants and prostheses  
 Imaging and Predicative
     Modeling 
 Tissue engineering and
     biological models  
 Case studies and other
     related topics
