The 3D printing of FibreTuff PAPC represents one of the best biocompatible materials available, designed to replicate bone-like properties. This innovative biocompatible 3D printer filament allows for the construction of both cortical and cancellous bone. Additionally, it produces a nonbinary radiographic image that is neither radiolucent
The 3D printing of FibreTuff PAPC represents one of the best biocompatible materials available, designed to replicate bone-like properties. This innovative biocompatible 3D printer filament allows for the construction of both cortical and cancellous bone. Additionally, it produces a nonbinary radiographic image that is neither radiolucent nor radiopaque. The radiopacity is optimally balanced, making it suitable for showing bone bridging without the need for implant removal to verify evidence-based healing.
