Advances in 3D Printing for Medical Applications

MRS Advances is accepting full-paper submissions on Electronic Devices and Materials topics related to the symposium topic Advances in 3D Printing for Medical Applications from the 2020 MRS Spring Meeting. Submissions, the review process, and the final decision are not contingent on presentation at the meeting itself. MRS Advances publishes short papers that provide a “snapshot” of an advance within the field of materials research. Such work may include important early indications from a research project that has not yet reached a conclusion, or related results that are significant but not central to the goal of the project. The scientific methods and logic should be rigorous, technically sound, and of interest to other specialists in the area of research. Of particular interest are topics in Advances in 3D Printing for Medical Applications: • Novel methods for 3D printing of medical devices • Development of new materials for 3D printing of medical devices • 3D printing of shape memory materials and other smart materials for medical applications • 3D printing of patient-specific medical devices • 3D printing of biomicrofluidic devices • 3D printing of “organ-on-chip” devices • 3D printing of pharmaceuticals and pharmaceutical devices • Validation of novel 3D printing processes for medical applications • Use of modeling approaches to understand 3D printing processes for medical applications • Development of low cost 3D printing processes • Translation of 3D printed medical devices into clinical use
