The main novelty of this paper is the use of poly-ethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG) as a
new shape memory polymer with excellent shape memory effect (SME) and printability. In …

In this research, for the first time, highly controllable self-coiling and tensile shape memory
behaviors of the 3D printed (Poly-Ethylene Terephthalate Glycol) PETG thermoplastic …

In this work, for the first time, PET-G commercial filament is employed for 4D printing of novel
tailormade self-morphing samples. PET-G was found to be an amorphous shape memory …

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is an additive manufacturing technology that has
emerged as a promising technique for fabricating 3D printed polymers. It has gained …

The high cost of biofabricated titanium mesh plates can make them out of reach for hospitals
in low-income countries. To increase the availability of cranioplasty, the authors of this work …

Parts made from thermoplastic polymers fabricated through 3D printing have reduced
mechanical properties compared to those fabricated through injection molding. This paper …

Damage caused by disease or trauma often leads to multi-tissue damage which is both
painful and expensive for the patient. Despite the common occurrence of such injuries …

The design of scaffolds with optimal biomechanical properties for load-bearing applications
is an important topic of research. Most studies have addressed this problem by focusing on …
