Cover Story: With advances in additive manufacturing technologies, the creation of medical devices which are tailored to the geometry of a patient’s unique anatomy is becoming more feasible. A seven-degree-of-freedom fused filament deposition modeling system has been developed which enables a wide variety of user control over previously restricted parameters, such as nozzle angle, print bed rotation, and print bed tilt. The unique capabilities of this system will be showcased through the production of a patient-specific tracheal stent using three different methods: segmented overmolding, transverse rastering, and longitudinal rastering. The resulting opportunities and time savings demonstrated by the prints will provide a case for greater implementation of seven-degree-of-freedom manufacturing technologies. View this paper
