University, UK). It contains a selection of papers presented at the 2 nd International Conference on Medical Devices: Materials, Mechanics and Manufacturing ICMD3M 2023 organised by ESIS TC14 in Corfu, Greece in June 2023. The published papers present the latest developments in various areas of integrity of biomedical devices, including the following: • haemodynamics of abdominal aorta stent graft; • effect of haemolysis on thrombosis in blood-contacting medical devices; • computational fluid dynamics analysis for 3D printed gradient structure in interfacial tissue engineering; • mechanical response of heart’s left ventricle; • parametric analysis of femoro-jugular venovenous extra corporeal membrane oxygenation system; • automatic fingertip-blood-sampling system; • crack propagation in scaffolds; • 3D printed anthropomorphic head phantom; • osseo integrated 3D printed implant for treatment of thumb amputees; • pressure distribution and mechanical performance of microarchitectured 3D-printed prosthesis socket; • below-knee running specific prostheses; • in silico study of ankle-joint misalignments in ankle-foot orthoses; • digital design and fabrication of multi-material hand orthoses; • bending behaviour of 3D printed polymeric bone plates for biomedical applications. TC15: STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF ADDITIVELY MANUFACTURED COMPONENTS In 2023 in collaboration with TC18 ESIAM23 was organized in Porto from 4 th to 6 th of September. More than 100 participants have joined the events presenting their contributions to the conference in Porto. The social activities of the event were also very successful, giving the possibility to the participants to visit the beauties of Porto. We want to thank immensely the local organizers of the event Prof. Abilio De Jesus and Prof. Luis Reis. A special symposium dedicated to TC 15 has been organized at ECF24 in Zagreb in August 2024 with more than 30 participants. Another symposium of TC15 will be organized together with TC18 at the next medfract3-IGF28 conference in September 2025. More information about the event can be found here: LINK ESIAM 2026 will be organized in February 2026 in Vicenza Italy. More information will be soon available. Vadim V. Silberschmidt
