Description

This research investigates the use of Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) with Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) in additive manufacturing to produce fine sub-millimeter aortic valve structures with specific properties. By adjusting exposure parameters, including energy density, laser power, scanning speed, and scan line distance, the study achieves a balance between flexibility and resistance.
