3D PRINTING CONFERENCE INNOVATION,
MODELLING, APPLICATION & IMPLEMENTATION
3
D printed devices are enabled through advanced
equipment and materials, though there are hurdles
maximizing this technology. Application of materials
specifically suited for medical device manufacturing is key.
Poly-Med CTO, Scott Taylor, will explain that while PLA, a
bioresorbable polymer, is available for 3D printing, medical-
specific quality requirements are often not in place and
mechanics aren’t appropriate for most products. Poly-Med
supports development and manufacturing of bioresorbable
products from a wide variety of implantgrade 3D printing
materials, including Max-Prene®, Dioxaprene®, and
Lactoprene® filaments. Our engineers support conversion
of medical products from permanent to bioresorbable,
prototype through manufacturing, with full analytical
support.
