Abstract

Different applications of RP manufacturing technologies in the medical sector are discussed. In South Africa, in general the use of RP technology has been slow, but more specifically in the medical field, although the potential of RP has been widespread in other fields. The paper shows that this technology has a definite application in surgical planning, prosthesis development and bioengineering.
