Additive Benefits for the Medical and Orthopedic Industry
Design freedom for medical implants
Additive Manufacturing provides you the flexibility to customize the implant for patient needs, achieve desired mechanical properties, and ease surgery.
Medical implant complexity
You can add features to increase functionality and effectiveness of the implant without increasing production steps or costs.
Mechanics of the body
You can design porosity and pore size, as well as interconnectivity of trabecular structures to allow for enhanced initial fixation and bone ingrowth.
One medical implant
AM enables integrated trabecular structures that reduce risk of delamination and simplify the supply chain because the implant is made in one step—and one part.
Flexible and efficient production
AM is suitable for both serial production and manufacturing of mixed implant designs and sizes, without the need for change in hardware configuration. This allows for minimal waste and high productivity.
