In this issue, we invited five winners of the ‘Best Paper Awards’ at the 4th International Conference on Advanced Research in Virtual and Rapid Prototyping, Leiria, Portugal, 6-10 October 2009, to enhance their conference papers to the standard of an international journal. One paper each from ‘Materials’ track, ‘Biomanufacturing’ track and ‘Virtual Environment & Simulation’ track and two papers from ‘Advanced R...

Editorial

Welcome to a brand new year of 2010! In this editorial, we bring you the latest update concerning rapid prototyping technologies,which of coursemany of you are aware, include many terminologies such as layer manufacturing and solid freeform fabrication, amongst others. The longstanding need to standardize the terminologies within the rapid prototyping andmanufacturing industry has nowbeenmetwith a new ASTMInter...

As time goes on, the relevance of the Virtual and Physical Prototyping journal increases. This Journal was submitted to Thomson Scientific to be accepted as an ISI Journal and the number of conferences asking for our endorsement is growing fast, such as the following: . International Conference on Additive Technologies, IC AT2010, 22 24 September 2010, Nova Gorica, Slovenia . Virtual Concept 2010, 20-22 October...

Editorial

We end the year 2009, our fourth year of existence, with three state-of-the-art papers and two technical papers. In the first formal paper, Liebschner describes current efforts in identifying mechano-biological principles that are believed to guide tissue formation based on biomechanical loading. The goal of the research is to discuss a reverse engineering solution in a strategy that starts with the final produ...

Biomanufacturing for tissue engineering: Present and future trends

Tissue engineering, often referred to as regenerative medicine and reparative medicine, is an interdisciplinary field that necessitates the combined effort of cell biologists, engineers, material scientists, mathematicians, geneticists, and clinicians toward the development of biological substitutes that restore, maintain, or improve tissue function. It has emerged as a rapidly expanding approach to address the...
