“…The shape of a 3D-printed object depends on the predefined computer-created design and is adjustable from simple to complex geometries. Proof-of-concept studies often use simple designs like discs, cylinders or cuboids [ 37 , 58 , 71 , 74 , 78 , 141 , 142 ] for the demonstration of the performance of 3D-printing for implants, such as antibacterial efficacy or controllable drug release, by varying implant properties [ 37 , 50 , 58 , 66 , 78 , 141 ].…”
