We recognized the potential of 3D printing right from the start and tried to take advantage of it. After intensive market research, we opted for ARCAM (now GE), from whom we purchased our first 3D printer back in 2015. Since then, new possibilities for implants have opened up for us in the areas of custom-made products, shaping and bone structures. It is also a very sustainable process because the unmelted powder can be reused for the next jobs. This is very much in line with our forward-looking corporate strategy.
3D printed implants are becoming increasingly popular with users. For this reason, our new printing center was built in 2023 to bundle our 3D capacities. With the newly acquired equipment, we now have 8 titanium printers. This makes us one of the leading users in Germany. The production and capacity for our 8 systems is up to 40,000 parts per year."
