Additive manufacturing (AM) of medical devices such as orthopedic implants and hearing aids is highly attractive because of the potential of AM to match the complex form and mechanics of individual human bodies. Externally worn and implantable tissue‐support devices, such as ankle or knee braces, and hernia repair mesh, offer a new opportunity for AM to mimic tissue‐like mechanics and improve both...
Explicit toolpath programming in an additive manufacturing process can enable flexible mesh materials with digitally tailored mechanics and geometry. In article number 1901815, Sebastian W. Pattinson, A. John Hart, and co‐workers demonstrate that tensile mesh mechanics can be engineered to match the nonlinear response of the muscle. An ankle brace with directionally specific inversion stiffness is...
