Producing Medical parts with a Metal 3D printer
Metal 3D printing is opening new avenues in the medical field, particularly for producing custom implants and prosthetics with high precision. It enables the creation of complex structures, such as porous designs that support bone growth, which are difficult to achieve with traditional manufacturing techniques. Additionally, the use of materials like titanium, known for its strength and biocompatibility, makes 3D printing ideal for medical applications. The technology offers an efficient way to produce both custom and serial parts, supporting advancements in patient care through more personalized solutions.
