There's a developing body of literature on FDM and other rapid prototyping
methods in the tissue engineering and "biomaterials" literature - (in this
case "biomaterials" meaning synthetic materials used in medical
applications, and including ceramic materials) e.g. see the references
within
Zein I. Hutmacher DW. Tan KC. Teoh SH. Fused deposition modeling of novel
scaffold architectures for tissue engineering applications. Biomaterials.
23(4):1169-85, 2002 Feb.

review. Computer Methods & Programs in Biomedicine. 67(2):85-103, 2002 Feb.

Is this kind of information documented anywhere publicly? I hate
re-inventing wheels, particularly when I make mine square so they don't roll
downhill...
