Bioresorbable polymers for 3D printing applications

Overview

3D printing technologies lead the way towards high-resolution, bioresorbable, implantable medical devices.

In this webinar, our experts Kevin Acreman and Balaji Prabhu will discuss application opportunities made possible through the world’s first commercial GMP portfolio of bioresorbable polymers for 3D printing technologies.

Presenting latest data from case studies, the webinar will highlight how medical device customers can benefit from customization and various application technology services including in-house powder development and printing.

As a participant of this webinar you will learn about:

Filament for Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) / Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)
Powder for Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)
Gels or liquids for bioplotters
Granules for freeformer
3D Printing services
