Implants

EOS additive manufacturing creates patient-specific implants and surgical instruments directly from CAD data, using anatomical scans for a precise fit. This reduces waiting times, accelerates healing, and improves the patient’s quality of life.

• Improved Osseointegration: Custom surface structures on implants enhance bone integration and healing.
• Precision with Patient-Specific Instruments: 3D-printed single-use tools ensure more accurate surgeries and better outcomes.
• Cost Savings & Efficiency: On-demand 3D printing reduces sterilization, storage costs, and boosts hospital productivity.

3D Printing of an Artificial Hip Cup

Additive Minds provides comprehensive consulting throughout all project phases, enabling the successful development of 3D-printed artificial hip cups. The design features a single piece with a porous trabecular lattice, enhancing bone ingrowth and ongrowth with high precision, while eliminating interface layers for better integration.

Surgical Guide System for Knee Operations

EOS has developed a surgical drilling template for customized knee arthroplasty, offering a more precise and controlled approach to preparing the bone for the implant. This system combines a patient-specific implant with a tailored surgical drilling template, enabling more accurate knee replacement or restoration procedures that are closely aligned with the patient’s unique anatomical features and musculoskeletal system.

• Efficient: Instruments can be produced quickly.
• Profitable: Lower costs than traditional methods.
• Timely: Patient-specific instruments delivered within 21 days

Optimized Medical Products with 3D Printed Cranial Implants

When a skull implant is needed, external factors should support, not hinder, the healing process. Using a laser-based layering production technique, titanium was precisely shaped piece by piece to create a highly individualized implant in terms of both form and size. Produced on the EOSINT M 280, the implant was made in just hours. With 95% porosity, the implant allows liquids to flow with minimal resistance while promoting bone tissue integration for a seamless bond. The implant’s stable structure ensures the patient can return to normal daily activities, while its lattice design also provides optimal thermal conductivity, allowing the patient to enjoy outdoor activities like sun exposure.
