Battery electrode structure and method for fabricating the same

A method for fabricating a medical device includes steps as follows: A degradable powder including at least one metal element is firstly provided on a target surface. A focused energy light bean is applied to sinter/cure the biodegradable powder within an oxygen-containing atmosphere; wherein the oxygen concentration of the oxygen-containing atmosphere is adjusted to provide a first oxygen concentration and a second concentration when the focused energy light is driven to a first location and second location of the target surface respectively. The aforementioned processes are then repeatedly carried out to form a three-dimensional (3D) structure of the medical device.

Method for fabricating medical device and applications thereof

A bionic fixing apparatus is provided. The bionic fixing apparatus includes a body having a through hole and at least one slit. The through hole penetrates the body from the top surface to the bottom surface to form a top opening and a bottom opening. An inner diameter of the top opening is larger than an inner diameter of the bottom opening. The slit is connected to the bottom opening and extends upwardly from the bottom surface of the body, such that the body has a flexible bottom portion.

Bionic fixing apparatus and apparatus for pulling out the same

A bionic apparatus is provided. The bionic apparatus includes a flexible portion having a plurality of pores, a rigid portion connected with the flexible portion, and a supporting element disposed in the flexible portion. The pore size of each pore is between 50 &#x3bc;m to 500 &#x3bc;m. The flexible portion, the rigid portion and the supporting element are one-piece formed by a additive manufacturing process.

A fabrication method of magnetic device is provided. A magnetic material is provided. A portion of the magnetic material is selectively irradiated by an energy beam, and reactive gas is introduced simultaneously. The magnetic material being irradiated is melted and solidified to form a solidified layer. An outer layer of the solidified layer reacts with the reactive gas to form a barrier layer, so as to form a magnetic unit including the solidified layer and the barrier layer. It is determined whether the manufacturing process of the same layer is finished, if not, the energy beam is moved to the other portion of the magnetic material. The above step is repeated to overlap multiple magnetic units to form a magnetic layer. If yes, the flow returns to the 1step to provide another magnetic material to the magnetic layer. The above steps are repeated to form a 3D magnetic device.
