| Abstract Scope |
Biomedical devices have greatly benefited from continued advancements in metals additive manufacturing. AM technologies are enabling patient specific, customized designs. Patient-specific designs, however, often require additional considerations beyond geometry. Subsequently, the data attained to drive initial design requirements must be preserved, along with associated metadata, throughout the design-to-fabrication process. This presentation will explore the data transitions throughout this process, discuss the need for data integrity throughout, and explore gaps and opportunities in current practices in order to better account for all patient requirements throughout the production process. |
