An antibiotic eluting article for implantation into a mammalian subject produced by an additive manufacturing process wherein a polymeric material is concurrently deposited with a selected antibiotic. The additive manufacturing process may be a fused deposition modeling process a selective laser sintering process a selective heat sintering process a digital light processing process or a stereolithography process. The antibiotic eluting article may be temporary or permanent orthopaedic skeletal component an orthopaedic articulating joint replacement component and/or an external hard shell casing for an implantable device. One or more bone growth promoting compositions may be concurrently deposited with the polymeric material. The implantable device may be a cardiac pacemaker a spinal cord stimulator a neurostimulation system an intrathecal drug pump for delivery of medicants into the spinal fluid and infusion pump for delivery of chemotherapeutics and/or anti spasmodics an insulin pump an osmotic pump and a heparin pump.
