…BEE cage is designed to challenge the limits of additive manufacturing, company says. The honeycomb endplate design reduces the risk of subsidence while allowing fusion. The honeycomb structure allows for bony ingrowth and demonstrates the reduced use of titanium minimizing risks of X-ray artefacts, while offering a very large graft space. This is another innovation from the team, who invented the first line of additively manufactured interbody devices. “This is an important step for NGMedical and allows us to start our active market presence in the USA. We are proud having received the FDA clearance based on the innovative design…

…economies shut down and fluctuating demand brought logistics and manufacturing to a screeching halt. One bright spot in the manufacturing and supply chain upheaval is additive manufacturing, which is fast emerging as an alternative way to produce key components at a local site while keeping the flow of goods in motion and the factory floor cycle intact. Strategic use of AM, experts say, can help manufacturers significantly reduce costs and transportation time while mitigating supply chain risks today, in the midst of the pandemic, and in the future as things start to normalize. That was the topic of a recent…

…costs associated with operational inefficiency, by enabling decentralization of manufacturing and production on demand. The technology is also known for its ability to enable new business models such as mass production of customized products, and bring innovation to market in record time. However business leaders frequently cite one barrier against the widespread adoption of 3D printing: the lack of know-how. Materialise conducted a survey last year which illustrated nearly 50% of manufacturers expect the use of 3D printing to double in the next 5 years, but 41% see the lack of expertise as a major hurdle. Materialise says Mindware can…

…the deeper capabilities of microCT to parts produced by additive manufacturing (AM). One of the many benefits of metal AM is the ability to produce internal structures. Parts must not only meet dimensional specs but also display consistent and acceptable quality characteristics, such as high density and the absence of internal defects. MicroCT is a powerful tool for these and other AM applications, too, as described in a recent paper by Anton du Plessis et al, “X-Ray Microcomputed Tomography in Additive Manufacturing: A Review of the Current Technology and Applications” (Anton du Plessis, Igor Yadroitsev, Ina Yadroitsava, and Stephan G.…
