Background3-Dimensional (3D) printing can be applied to virtual planning and creation of surgical guides for mandibular reconstruction. Such systems are becoming increasingly prevalent in head and neck reconstruction. However, third party access to this technology is costly and removes the opportunity to design, create, and modify the bony reconstr...

The two most popular models used in anatomical training for residents, clinicians, or surgeons are cadavers and sawbones. The former is extremely costly and difficult to attain due to cost, ethical implications, and availability, while the latter is said to not have the same tactile fidelity or mechanical properties as human bone. This study examin...
Ce mémoire présente la synthèse et la caractérisation du matériau composite Ce-TZP/Al2O3 et l’étude de ce matériau dans une mise en forme par impression 3D de type stéréolithographie (SLA). Le matériau Ce-TZP présente une résistance au vieillissement en milieu aqueux (par transformation martensitique de la phase tétragonale vers la phase monocliniq...

Stereolithography (SL) is an additive manufacturing (AM) process that uses photopolymers for creating a 3D structure that has excellent surface roughness and allows precision fabrication. Nevertheless, the photopolymer used in this process is generally costly, in particular for medical-grade materials, and a relatively large amount of a photopolyme...

This paper describes an efficient method of fabricating high-performance ceramic (HPC) parts by using solvent-based slurry stereolithography (3S) and sintering. In this study, zirconia was used as the structural material, methyl alcohol was used as the solvent, a waterborne inorganic pigment was used as the dispersant, and a visible-light-curing re...

In recent years, the development of 3D printing in flow analysis has allowed the creation of new systems with various applications. Up to now, 3D printing was mainly used for the manufacture of small units such as flow detection cells, preconcentration units or mixing systems. In the present study, a new 3D printed lab-on-valve system was developed...
