Production Capable Additive Manufacturing of Polymers (ProAMP)
1 Oct 2017 to 31 Mar 2020
3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing (AM) has been heralded as a revolutionary technology which will impact on almost every aspect of manufacturing. It promises to be a technology which will change the manufacturing paradigm This is undoubtedly true, but before AM can be regarded as an established mass production technology it must metamorphose from a l...
Resorbable Osteoplasty for Orthopedic Applications
1 Aug 2017 to 31 Oct 2019
The primary objective of this 2 year collaborative research project is to develop the world’s first resorbable osteoplasty for minimally invasive intramedullary stabilisation of osteoporotic bone fractures, which is a growing international healthcare problem that contributes to the £2.3bn annual cost of fractures to the NHS. In the UK, the population over...
