3D printing in medical webinar

Washington – 3D printing of plastics models and prototypes is a well-established technology and now interest is moving towards applications for 3D printing using metallic materials. In this webinar Dr. Bandyopadhyay discusses a variety of industrial printing and coating applications driven by the medical and aerospace industries as well as his research for using metal 3D printers in Space exploration. This webinar describes the use of LENS 3D printing for metal additive manufacturing applications. Applications including printing of porous structured medical implants, applying coatings using reactive and non-reactive materials, and direct fabrication and device repair using moon rock regolith will be discussed. The talk will highlight research data obtained over the past eight years at Washington State University.

The presenter
Dr. Amit Bandyopadhyay is a Herman and Brita Lindholm Endowed Chair Professor at the School of Mechanical & Materials Engineering at Washington State University, and a Fellow of the American Ceramic Society, American Society for Materials, American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering and the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). His research expertise lies with additive manufacturing of metallic and ceramic materials and their composites towards structural, bio- and piezoelectric materials. Prof. Bandyopadhyay has published more than 240 technical papers including more than 170 journal papers. He holds nine issued US patents and five more patent applications are currently pending at the United States Patent and Trademark Office
