AM’s Growing Role in Medicine
With a fast-growing list of additive manufacturing materials that are certified for medical use, additive manufacturing is expected to continue its fast growth in the medical field. While Emma’s WREX is an exoskeleton and has different requirements than a Class III medical device, Zehringer said Stratasys has two biocompatible thermo- plastic materials, ABS-M30i and PC-ISO.
Other additive manufacturing machine makers are also adding to their material lists all the time. Eventually, Terry Wohlers of Wohlers Associates (Fort Collins, CO), an indepen- dent consulting firm specializing in additive manufacturing, said that the 3D printing of living tissues and biodegradable structures will replace defective and damaged body parts.
Sample said additive manufacturing has been a godsend in his field. Said Sample: “This is one of these industries that matches perfect with 3D printing— additive manufacturing—because we need custom everything.” ME
