Ever thought of building a trabecular structure together with a fully dense metal body? With Additive Manufacturing we have succeeded in coming up with porous structures for, and even inside, very complex shapes.

We have thoroughly validated and made available for serial production, two of the most intriguing processes available on the market: Electron Beam Melting (EBM) and Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS). Both offer a competitive solution with amazing capabilities.

Maximum design freedom

Complex geometry and intricately shaped devices become an invaluable alternative for designers and end users; design extended to surface porous network details. The elastic modulus of devices can be tailor-made by engineering specific porous structures.

One-Step Manufacturing

Porous structures built up together with devices’ solid parts. Parts delivered may be ready-to-use for implantation or require additional finishing steps such as postmachining, lapping etc, according to final requirements.

Development Acceleration 

In R&D phases AM technology allows the testing of real pieces as well as serial production cost evaluation. Design changes can be made simply by re-engineering CAD files. 

Maximum Manufactury Flexibility

Once the design has been settled on, the manufacturing of implantable parts can begin. From  custom-made to small size batches or even serial mass production: a competitive miscellaneous range of items can be ready in just a few working days by using AM technology.

Real Production

AM technology is currently used for manufacturing both standard and custom-made medical devices to be clinically implanted.
