ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING FOR MEDICAL
Utilizing additive manufacturing in the health industry, implants and medical devices can be customized for every patient for improved, personalized medicine. Our Advanced Digital Manufacturing™ process can help you take virtual concepts to a fully realized medical product. We work together with our clients to assess product requirements and functional specifications using Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM) methods. Often, manufacturing steps can be reduced by designing devices to be printed to incorporate roughened surfaces and features such as trabecular structures for enhanced osseointegration.
Parts and devices are manufactured using our metal additive manufacturing (AM) / 3D printing DMLS technology, and can be post-processed with our heat treating and CNC machining capabilities inside our ISO 13485-certified multi-step manufacturing plan for medical devices.
Additive manufacturing is being explored for unlocking potential benefits by personalizing medical parts for every patient. DICOM files obtained by CT and MRI imaging scans can be converted directly to CAD model files which can then be 3D printed. Applications range from devices such as hearing aids, dental and orthodontic devices, and medical implants for osseo arthritis and cranial facial patients.
Ultimately, additive manufacturing can reduce medical device production costs, while at the same time providing the best technologies and manufacturing methods available.

NOT SURE WHERE TO START?
WE’RE HERE TO HELP
From the initial phase of a project, our engineering team can consult with you to help optimize your part or product to realize the full benefits of additive manufacturing. Whether your next step is 510k approval, or manufacturing planning for serial production, we have the experience you need to get to market laser fast.
We have invested in the listed software to allow us to consult on projects on a more advanced level. We have the simulation and optimization software needed to do research and development projects.
More importantly than investing in our technology, we have invested in the people who make our engineering consulting services come together. Our highly trained and experienced engineers are thought leaders in the additive manufacturing industry.
