3D Systems’ Extrusion Technology to Produce Patient-specific PEEK Implants Supports Ground-breaking Cranial Surgeries at Leading European Hospitals
3D Systems’ extrusion printing technology is unique as its architecture and design are easy to use to produce durable, biocompatible implants using Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) material.
- 3D Systems’ extrusion printing technology is unique as its architecture and design are easy to use to produce durable, biocompatible implants using Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) material.
- Additionally, the technology enables the production of patient-specific geometries at the hospital itself providing tremendous benefits to both surgeons and patients.
- The implant was then produced in the Hospital’s 3D printing lab using VESTAKEEP® i4 3DF PEEK by Evonik on 3D Systems’ EXT 220 MED extrusion platform.
