Development of a mechanically similar composite bone replica

Development of a mechanically similar composite bone replica

A methodology using rapid prototyping (RP) to produce discrete-region and continuous gradients in material mixtures to represent bone is presented. Composites are created by using the RP lattice pattern as a host for filler materials; regions within a single object may be separated by thin barriers,...

Description
Summary:A methodology using rapid prototyping (RP) to produce discrete-region and continuous gradients in material mixtures to represent bone is presented. Composites are created by using the RP lattice pattern as a host for filler materials; regions within a single object may be separated by thin barriers, allowing filling with different matrix materials to create regions of differing local properties. Results from initial samples are presented.
