By Alessandro Tel, Erik Kornfellner, Francesco Moscato, Shankeeth Vinayahalingam, Tong Xi, Lorenzo Arboit & Massimo Robiony, *Scientific Reports*, 2023. The first published application of nTopology's field-driven design in maxillofacial surgery, generating patient-specific osteosynthesis plates for orthognathic and trauma cases.
