Synthetic Bones Designed by AI Set to Transform Orthopedic Surgery


Researchers have developed a bone-like synthetic material using machine learning and 3D printing, aimed at enhancing orthopedic treatments. This new material could potentially replace traditional surgical methods, reducing complications and improving healing. Despite their irregular architectures

In a recent study, researchers have used machine learning, optimization, 3D printing, and stress experiments to develop a material that replicates the functionalities of human bone for orthopedic femur restoration, revealing insights into this complex relationship. A new study that integrates machine learning, 3D printing, and stress experiments allowed engineers to gain insight into these natural wonders by developing a material that replicates the functionalities of human bone for orthopedic femur restoration.
