Abstract:
Systems and methods of manufacturing 3D printed medical devices. The method includes feeding a first filament and a second filament into an interior cavity of a heating cartridge and melting each of the filaments on a substrate. The heating cartridge is then moved linearly and rotationally relative to the substrate to form a jacket including material from each of the first and second filaments. Further, rotating the substrate provides a uniform mixture and creates support rings between the filament materials within the structure of the jacket.
