Military Medicine publication of 3D printing FibreTuff PAPC, a biocompatible material in austere deployment and point-of-care rapid fabrication. A variety of 3D printed examples include medical supplies, including human tissues and bioactive bandages, in prolonged field care scenarios. In this pilot project, the aim was to investigate the ability to 3D print a range of potential biomedical supplies and solutions in an austere field environment. FibreTuff is thankful for being selected as the biocompatible filament of choice.

The 3D Printing of FibreTuff PAPC is the best biocompatible material to replace bone like properties. One can construct cortical and cancellous bone, plus, there is a nonbinary radiographic image not radiolucent or radiopaque. The radiopacity isn't too bright for showing bone bridging and we believe won't require implant removal to identi
The 3D Printing of FibreTuff PAPC is the best biocompatible material to replace bone like properties. One can construct cortical and cancellous bone, plus, there is a nonbinary radiographic image not radiolucent or radiopaque. The radiopacity isn't too bright for showing bone bridging and we believe won't require implant removal to identify evidence based healing. Further, we believe this radiopacity will be very beneficial to ascertain data for Artificial Intelligence - process optimization for quality of micropore construction.
