Reverse Engineering and 3D Printing of Medical Devices and Anatomic Structures

Dear Colleagues,

It is our pleasure to present this Special Issue of Bioengineering on the theme “Reverse Engineering and 3D Printing of Medical Devices and Anatomic Structures”, which is open to submissions until 28th of February 2023.

This Special Issue covers topics including, but not limited to, the following:

• Reverse engineering in medical applications;
• Medical images in reverse engineering of anatomical structures and medical devices;
• Modelling and simulation of reversed anatomical structures and medical devices;
• Optimal design of medical devices;
• 3D printing of medical devices and tissues;
• Functional materials in biomedical applications;
• Reverse engineering in surgery planning context.

With this Special Issue, we aim to disseminate recent research in the area of reverse engineering in the context of medical applications, hence welcoming a range of perspectives regarding this theme.

It is our pleasure to invite you to consider submitting a manuscript on your recent work for this Special Issue. Full papers, communications and reviews are all welcome.

We look forward to receiving your valuable contribution.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Bioengineering is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
