EOS’ Post

A cranial implant made from EOS machines in titanium completed and ready for the surgery in hours changes the medical industry exponentially.

Recently, Dr. Mitra Derakhshan, DDS, MS, SVP global clinical, spoke with DrBicuspid about Align’s commitment to help doctors enhance the patient experience, improve clinical outcomes, and provide a more comfortable and efficient treatment process. These innovations are aimed at helping doctors grow their practices to deliver exceptional care to their patients. Our iTero Lumina™ intraoral scanner, featuring iTero Multi-Direct Capture™ (MDC) technology, delivers faster, more accurate scans with improved visualization than previous iTero models. It's 50% smaller and 45% lighter for enhanced usability, making scanning comfortable and efficient. The Invisalign® Palatal Expander, a 3D-printed device for palate expansion without screws, is designed with precision adjustments made in increments of a quarter of a millimeter, to help ensure optimal results. “It's removable, but you're getting the results similar to fixed metal expander because of the materials and the material science and the technology we used. The patient can remove it, maintain his or her oral hygiene, and eat with it if needed,” said Dr. Derakhshan. Learn more 🔗 https://bit.ly/3TPdeRb #AlignTech #Invisalign #iTero #exocad

Have you heard of 3D-MID? 🤔 3D-MID, or Mechatronic Integrated Device, is a manufacturing technology that integrates electrical circuits directly into three-dimensional plastic parts. This technology eliminates the need for bulky circuit boards and additional connection points, leading to some interesting advantages: ⚙️Reduced Size and Weight: Smaller, lighter devices enhance patient comfort. ⚙️Increased Functionality: Pack more features into a smaller space for advanced capabilities. ⚙️Design Freedom: Create custom shapes that perfectly fit the body or specific applications. ⚙️Reliability and Durability: Ensure long-lasting and dependable medical devices. For example, Hearing Aids profit from 3D-MID with great sound quality and the potential integration of additional features in smaller, more comfortable devices. The image below shows a drug delivery implant. With 3D-MID, manufacturers can miniaturise implants to achieve less invasive procedures and better patient outcomes. As 3D-MID technology continues to evolve, we can expect to see even more innovative medical devices. 💡Have you used 3D-MID technology in your projects? #3DMID #medicaltechnology #innovation #3DCircuits

Like a lot of composite parts manufacturers, Real Carbon makes medical product components. Why you ask, let's ask Microsoft CoPilot and see if we agree? (spoiler alert we do 👍 ) Carbon fiber has become increasingly popular in the medical industry due to its remarkable properties. Let’s delve into why it’s a preferred material for creating medical devices. Mechanical Strength and Low Weight: Carbon fiber boasts an exceptional combination of high tensile strength and low weight. This makes it ideal for crafting medical equipment that needs to be both lightweight and strong. For instance, wheelchairs, prosthetic attachments, and other mobility devices benefit from carbon fiber’s lightweight nature, enhancing user comfort and effectiveness. Surgeons and robotic tools used in surgical procedures also benefit from reduced weight while maintaining necessary stiffness. Durability and Resistance: Medical equipment must withstand rigorous use and sterilization. Carbon fiber materials easily endure repeated high-temperature sterilization. They are unreactive to bodily fluids and non-corrosive, ensuring longevity and safety. Non-Magnetic Properties: Carbon fiber is non-magnetic, which is crucial for medical devices used in diagnostic imaging. It minimizes interference with technologies like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In summary, carbon fiber’s high stiffness-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility make it an excellent choice for crafting durable and efficient medical devices. #carbonfiber #medical #realcarboninc

Excited to share this case study!   When the RNDR Medical development team was looking for an alternative to the expense and long wait times of micro-molding for single-use distal tips, they came across our Projection Micro Stereolithography (PµSL) #micro3Dprinting technology. Capable of achieving resolutions of 2µm~25µm and tolerances of +/- 10µm~25µm, our microArch series looked to be a potential solution.   Our advanced technology enabled RNDR's team to achieve unprecedented levels of precision and speed in prototyping and initial production phases, enabling them to iterate designs rapidly and move confidently into production, cutting development time by half. Our printers ensure that even the most complex components, like the ureteroscope's distal tip, can be produced efficiently, at scale, and with the exacting standards required in modern medical practice.   🚀 Discover how BMF is transforming the next generation of medical device manufacturing. #MedicalDevices #InnovationInHealthcare https://lnkd.in/eWWU6e_F
