Michael Sealy holds examples of implants that can be made using the 3D metal printers available in the College of Engineering. Sealy, an assistant professor of mechanical and materials engineering, is designing magnesium-based implants — screws, pins, plates — that degrade in the body over time. This would eliminate the need for follow-up surgeries to remove the implants and mitigate the aches that permanent implants can cause.
