However, in contrast with large-scale 3D printing of plastic or metallic structures, FPBID provides nanomaterials with a wealth of interesting electronic, optical and magnetic properties. Due to this, focused electron beam-induced deposition (FEBID) has experienced a rapid expansion in the

• CA (Figure 5). Future direction: 3D printing In the repair of critical-size bone defects, autogenous bone grafts are considered to be the gold standard [67]. This technique has, however, several limitations which cannot be solved by using allogenous bone grafts, which have additional disadvantages

• vascularization and tissue supply with oxygen. Much progress has been achieved in rapid prototyping/3D printing techiques in the last years. 3D printing is a computer-controlled layer-by-layer technology. Thereby a binder (binding solution) is printed into each layer of powder, a step-wise process that finally

The advantage of this method is that the implants can be customized

To highlight the potential of the setup, supramolecular coordination chemistry was carried out in the device, with the product

Herein, we present an approach interfacing ESI-MS with a 3D-printed milliscale device, or tailored “reactionware” [4]. The use of 3D printing bypasses
