What plastic with nanomaterials encorportaed 3D printing filaments are being used in medical device printing?

04 June 2020 0 3K Report

Plastic is one of the most common anthro-synthesized materials used on Earth. Incorporation of nanomaterials enhances practical use of 3D printed filaments. However, the characterization and use of such composite materials are in early stages. What plastic nanomaterial composites are you using specifically for medical uses, for what purposes and how are you gauging effectiveness (scientifically)?
