Computer Aided Biomanufacturing edited by Roger Narayan and Paul Calvert.

Due to the rapid advances over the past few years in the field of computer aided biomanufacturing, the crucial information for researchers in the field is scattered throughout numerous journals and thus not readily available. This carefully compiled collection of selected articles from the top Wiley-Blackwell journals on the topic of computer aided biomanufacturing provides the fundamentals necessary to comprehend current computer aided biomanufacturing technologies while also developing new ones.
From the contents of Computer Aided Biomanufacturing:
* History of Rapid Prototyping in Medicine
* Use of Imaging Modalities in Rapid Prototyping
* Computer-Assisted Modeling of Tissues
* Fused Deposition Modeling
* Inkjet Printing
* Stereolithography Apparatus and other Photopolymerization Techniques
* Selective Laser Sintering
* Materials Used in Rapid Prototyping
* Future Developments
