3D Printing in Orthopedics
In this webinar we’re hosting together with the medtech company Spentys, we will provide a practical framework that helps you choosing the ideal material for different orthopedic applications.
Virtual Engineering
Lattice structures hold tremendous potential for a variety of devices in O&P. Our experts identify and design the optimal lattice structure for each project, cutting development time and cost by minimizing iterations.
Lattice Design
3D-printed lattices are repeated patterns comprised of a network of cells, beams, and nodes. These 3D-printed micro-architectures unlock entirely new designs that have been considered before unmakeable, leading to higher comfort, better rebound, aeration, and reduced weight.
