Bionics-based surgical training using 3D printed photopolymers and smart devices

Additive manufacturing technologies support the realization of surgical training devices using, typically, photopolymersbased materials. Unfortunately, the material jetting family, able to print a large range of soft and hard polymers, requires expensive machines and materials, which are not always available. On the other hand, vat polymerization fails in the resolution/volume ratio and in the mechanical properties reconstruction....
