Objectives: The authors review the literature to compare biomechanical properties of the human cervical spine as determined by cadaveric and finite elemental model (FEM) studies, with commercially available three-dimensional (3D) printing materials to aid in the development of 3D-printed cervical spines that can be used as biomechanically accurate educational tools. Specifically, 3D printing materials for fused deposition modeling (FDM) printers were explored.
Methods: A literature review of biomechanical specifications such as Young’s Modulus and Poisson’s ratio of certain anatomical aspects of the cervical spine was performed by searching the databases PubMed, MEDLINE via Ovid, Wolters Kluwer, ClinicalKey, and EMBASE via …

Introduction: While there have been many innovations developed for those with physical disabilities in recent years, a multitude of unmet needs still remain. With the advent of new and affordable technologies such as 3D printing, it is now more possible than ever before to bring one’s ideas to life; from creating customized prosthetics to wheelchair attachments for water bottles and umbrellas, we are able to quickly realize potentials otherwise unlikely - and in turn, we have the capacity to make the activities of daily living more manageable for those with physical disabilities.
Objectives: By personally hearing from individuals with physical …
