Autoclave sterilization of an in-house 3D-printed polylactic acid piece: biological safety and heat-induced deformation

Aims Fused filament fabrication 3D printing with polylactic acid filaments is the most widely used method to generate biomodels at hospitals throughout the world. The main limitation of this manufacturing system is related to the biomodels’ temperature sensitivity, which all but prevents them to be...
