Summary:

The introduction of additive manufacturing or 3D printing has brought about a whole new dimension of possibilities in manufacturing technology. This book includes research on powder-bed electron beam additive manufacturing (EBAM) which has the potential to offer innovative solutions to many challenges facing the manufacturing industry. The feasibility of the use of a 3D printer to recreate patient-specific anatomical modeling (in this case, of the pelvic rim) are also examined. A discussion on why the use of this technology to customize implants, plates and the operative procedure to a patient
