tensile‚ and microhardness properties related to the microstructural feature and compare their results to cortical bone. Composites of up to 40% volume HA were prepared by incorporating the HA particles into PEEK and manufactured using injection molding. The ashing of the composites were carried out by thermogravimetric analysis. Differential scanning calorimetry was used to evaluate the degree of crystallinity‚ both in the skin and core region of the molded specimen. Tensile testing was performed

• Speed The time spent using rapid prototyping techniques has decreased by as much as 90% compared to other prototype methods. Creating the tooling for injection molding and other conventional prototyping processes can take days. With rapid prototyping‚ the same model parts can be made within hours. • Time to Market The faster a prototype is created‚ the quicker designers and engineers can analyze it for design flaws and make necessary adjustments. The next step after making these adjustments
