Custom-Made 3D Printed Bones

Mar-09-20 While traditional implants are usually made of non-degradable materials such as polymer or titanium, Particle3D has developed customized 3D printed bone implants that fuse with your skeleton, then slowly disappear.

The "bio-ink" is composed of tricalcium phosphate (TCP) and fatty acids, which had to be manually sculpted, has been used in reconstructive surgery for decades, can now be 3D printed into the desired implant shape.

A patient's bones are scanned and a customized implant is then printed by Particle3D and sent to the hospital for insertion. The porous structure works like a scaffold for blood vessels and natural bone to grow into and degrades over time as the natural bone material replaces it.
