Natalia von Windheim

Natalia von Windheim's research focuses on 3D printing technologies applied to medicine and engineering, including surgical guides, patient-specific implants, and bone reconstruction tools. Her work spans practical clinical applications (like custom laryngectomy tubes and mandibular reconstruction planning) as well as materials science questions about how 3D-printed plastics form, degrade, and hold together structurally. The work bridges medical device design with fundamental studies of manufacturing processes and material breakdown, including microplastic pollution.

Publication output has grown from sparse or absent years earlier in the decade to a more steady pace of 2-3 papers per year since 2021, with a peak of 6 in 2022.
