A shoulder stem case study
Additive Manufacturing (AM) has grown in the past decade to become a significant part of the orthopedics industry. Estimates are that, by 2023, about 10% of all components used in hip, knee, shoulder and trauma implants will be made using AM. However, many manufacturers of medical devices, especially contract manufacturers, have yet to integrate AM in their operations.
This GF Machining Solutions' webinar looks at market trends and the challenges in the use of AM. It covers some of the basic principles of this technology and provides insights on the AM process flows using a printed shoulder implant as an example. Subjects such as the importance of AM software, printer technology, and the planning of secondary operations are examined. The webinar provides key success factors to ensure efficient operations through the full AM value chain.
