3D-printed implants may also be more like your body’s own bone. One study of people with spinal fusions who had used 3D implants found that the surgery was successful almost all of the time (99%).

The problem: Uneven strength in 3D-printed metal implants The layer-by-layer manufacturing process of CoCrMo, a widely used implant material, occurs at extremely high cooling rates (~10⁵–10⁶ ...

A new human clinical trial will test an implant known as AuriNovo, which uses a 3D-bioprinted ear grown from the patient’s own cells. Microtia is a birth defect that affects the external part of ...

We are a biomedical engineer and chemist who work with 3D printing. We study how this rapidly evolving technology provides new options not just for prosthetics but for implants, surgical planning ...

Using 3D-printing technology, the WSU researchers added 10% tantalum, a corrosion-resistant metal, and 3% copper to the titanium alloy typically used in implants.

He's using a customized spinal implant that's made with a 3D printer. "They're contoured. They're printed to fit the patient specifically," Prasad said. "So, it's a little bit like a custom shirt ...

She’s developing a unique ‘scaffold’ implant design adapted to children’s unique needs. Similar to temporary scaffolding that supports construction workers, these 3D-printed structures made of ...

They do exist, but their fit and functionality is limited. Germany's Fraunhofer research group aims to change that, with artificial finger joints that are custom 3D-printed for each patient.
