Variety of methods are employed to manufacture biomedical composite components. Most of the methods have been adapted from those available for manufacturing composites for non-biomedical applications (e.g., aerospace applications)., and tweaked as required to meet design, regulatory and manufacturing requirements unique to biomedical applications. Method selection for a particular component depends on the biomaterials, design requirement and application.
