Producing more efficient parts for the medical industry

The medical sector has strong drivers for adoption of AM, due to personalization, better osseointegration, or novel designs.. Metal AM has typically driven the development of improved standard and customised orthopedic implants.

Already metal AM has enabled the production of higher-performing designs and simplified the manufacturing process chain. Calibur3 builds on this by offering a leap in productivity and reduction in cost, and offers a new way forward for scale up of high quality AM implant manufacturing and metal medical device manufacturing.
