Abstract
The present disclosure relates generally to custom medical devices and additive manufacturing (3D printing) processes for producing the same. Using certain materials and novel fabrication techniques, the present systems and methods can directly print nearly any size or shape medical device or instrument. For example, in certain embodiments, the present systems and methods leverage stereolithography ('SLA') and photo-curable polymers to produce custom, radiopaque medical devices and instruments.
