Technologies
1. Selective Laser Melting (SLM), by means an high energy - produced from a laser source - melts metallic powder, according to geometrical data contained in a 3D computer aided design (CAD) file, which is sliced into layers with a defined thickness.
AMED uses TRUPRINT 3000, Print Sharp 150 and Print Green 150 as printing techniques, and a cutting edge machine that allows the creation of complex geometries thanks to a precision of a single line width of 0.1mm and a minimum layer thickness of 0.02mm.
2. Stereolithography (SLA), a 3D printing technology to produce photopolymer parts, by using a projected UV light source to cure the resin into a solid layer by layer, therefore creating a three-dimensional structure. AMED uses Form 4B printer, which delivers production-quality design prototypes and end-use products with very smooth surfaces. It is suitable for medical and dental applications, as well as general pourpose.
3. Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is a 3D printing technology that uses a laser to sinter material powders, binding them together to create a solid object. Formiga P110 Velocis is highly valued for its ability to create complex geometries without the need for supports, making it ideal for the production of functional prototypes, mechanical components, and final production parts with excellent mechanical properties.
The manufactured part is then subjected to an accurate quality control to verify its dimensions according to a defined tolerance range.
All the above strategies are pursued to ensure the best aesthetic as well as performant results of custom-made implants.
