3D Printing for Biomedical Applications
About This Course
This course bridges additive manufacturing and 3-dimensional (3D) printing technologies tailored for biomedical engineering. Learners will gain insights into 3D printing history, fundamentals, and cutting-edge techniques, alongside analysis of printable materials and their properties. The curriculum covers regulatory and ethical considerations for 3D printed medical devices, fostering critical comparison of printing methods and materials. It equips learners with practical skills for real-world biomedical applications, with learners designing and fabricating a functional 3D printed prototype. This micro-credential course is ideal for professionals seeking to dive deeper in biomedical 3D printing, additive manufacturing, and medical device innovation.
As this micro-credential course is only offered in the FlexiMasters in Biomedical Engineering Principles and Practices programme, learners are required to enrol in and complete all required courses within this programme.
