Changing the Paradigm-Controlling Polymer Morphology during 3D Printing Defines Properties.

ABSTRACT: Direct digital manufacturing consists of a set of techniques that enable products to be fabricated directly from their digital definition, without the use of complex tooling or moulds. This manufacturing approach streamlines prototyping and small-scale production, as well as the mass customization of parts with complex designs immediately fixed before fabrication. With broad applicability, there are clearly opportunities in the field of medical devices for its use. However, many of the developments of direct digital manufacturing focus on simply specifying the shape or the form of the product, and this limited scope throws away many of the particular advantages of direct digital manufacturing. This work is focused on remedying this situation so that the digital specification of the fabrica
