OMTEC Panel | Explore the Exciting Potential of 3D Printing with Next-Generation Materials

There’s no question that 3D printing will reshape many features of the medical device manufacturing landscape in the years ahead. However, charting a path toward its adoption isn’t straightforward. At Himed, we’ve focused primarily on materials, specifically how bioceramics—which have a proven track record of clinical performance—can be successfully applied to additive manufacturing. In June Himed participated in a panel discussion on the emerging materials that will drive the future of 3D printing in medical devices. For anyone who missed the discussion, a video link is available via: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysdVjb_Kq2Y Many thanks to Daniel Cook at ORTHOWORLD INC. for his ongoing interest in this topic, Matthew Shomper for moderating the dialogue, and to the other panelists, Scott Taylor and Bryan Naab, for providing valuable insights into how materials can unlock new possibilities for medical device manufacturers. *** Description: Orthopedic companies want to produce high-performance implants with intricate structures and strong mechanical properties. To meet these demands, additive manufacturing suppliers are building devices with bioresorbable polymers, tantalum, bioceramics and advanced metal alloys that improve biomechanics, enhance fixation and help the body heal. Hear from leaders in the field about the benefits of innovative materials and determine which option is best suited for your groundbreaking devices.
