Abstract The body morphology of harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena), like that of other fully aquatic mammals, differs greatly from terrestrial species due to adaptations to aquatic life. Thus, the developmental processes of the osteochondral unit (OCU) and its postnatal adaptation in harbour porpoises remain poorly understood.

Abstract We introduce Generative, Adaptive, Context-Aware 3D Printing (GRACE), a new approach combining 3D imaging, computer vision and parametric modelling to create tailored, context-aware geometries using volumetric additive manufacturing. GRACE rapidly and automatically generates complex structures capable of conforming directly around features ranging from cellular to macroscopic scales with minimal user intervention.

Abstract The reconstruction of craniomaxillofacial bone defects remains clinically challenging. To date, autogenous grafts are considered the gold standard but present critical drawbacks. These shortcomings have driven recent research on craniomaxillofacial bone reconstruction to focus on synthetic grafts with distinct materials and fabrication techniques. Among the various fabrication methods, additive manufacturing (AM) has shown significant clinical potential.
