The aim of the workshop is to bring together a number of active researchers from the biomaterials, tissue engineering and medical field to present and discuss state-of-the-art of rapid prototyping technologies for implant design and other emerging manufacturing techniques for novel biomaterials and tissue engineering constructs for regeneration of musculoskeletal tissues. The programme covers contributions of experienced scientists and clinicians, as well as of young researchers. Beside the Indian delegation and speakers from the host institutions in Dresden and Chemnitz, colleagues from other German universities and some other European countries will also present their newest research results.
