In another medtech first for 3D printing, researchers at Louisiana Tech University (Ruston, LA) have developed a method for using consumer-grade 3D printers and materials to fabricate custom medical implants embedded with antibacterial and chemotherapeutic compounds. Doctoral students and research faculty from Louisiana Tech's biomedical engineering and nanosystems engineering programs collaborated to create filament extruders that can make medical-quality 3D-printing filaments.
