Materials for medical implants are subject to strict requirements in terms of biocompatibility, mechanical properties and surface functionality. In addition, there is constant cost pressure and efficiency pressure, along with a high level of patient-specific adjustments. The advantages of additive manufacturing combined with the exceptional properties of amorphous metals offer a perfect new solution for implants such as the wrist joint radius plate. These metals have the necessary strength, are flexible enough for movement, and facilitate bone in-growth.

The TruPrint 2000 is ideal for this due to its small focus and its monitoring solutions.
