Exploration of the influence of different biomimetic designs of 3D printed multi-material artificial spinal disc on the natural mechanics restoration

One of the great challenges of artificial spinal disc (ASD) design lies in the reproduction of the complex mechanics of an intervertebral disc (IVD) that is characterized by a viscoelastic, nonlinear, and anisotropic behavior. Although the development of multi-material additive manufacturing (AM) co...
