The main motivation of this work was to analyse the feasibility of the current stent’s manufacturing process to produce the new bioresorbable stents (BRS) as well as study new manufacturing methods. Fibre Laser Cutting (FLC) has been selected because is the current manufacturing process for stents, and 3D-Printing (3DP) because its capability to process different types of materials for medical applications and their economic aspects. Stents have been selected for being one of the most implanted biomedical device in the world. The thesis focuses on improve the bioresorbable stent’s manufacturing processes, establishing relationships between the process parameters and the key stent aspects, namely, precision, mechanical properties, ...
