Learning Outcomes
1. Understand the Role of 3D Printing in Military Medicine: Identify how 3D printing can address challenges in resource-limited environments, particularly for on-demand medical tool production during LSCO.
2. Evaluate the Effectiveness of 3D Printing as a Sterilization Method: Analyze the ability of high-temperature 3D printing processes to reduce bioburden on polycarbonate materials and its implications for medical applications.
3. Explore Sterilization Optimization Strategies for 3D Printing: Discuss the limitations of current 3D printing methods in achieving full sterility and the need for complementary techniques to ensure the safety of 3D-printed medical devices.
