Medical device company Lima lays the foundation for the first on-site hospital 3D printing facility

China3D printingNet, June 24, the global medical device company LimaCorporate (Lima) It has been confirmed that it has begun construction of its upcoming site at the Hospital of Special Surgery (HSS) in New York3D printingfacility. It was confirmed for the first time in January this year, and the partners held a groundbreaking ceremony on site at the end of May. The construction project is scheduled to be completed in 2020, and the center itself is expected to be put into operation at the beginning of the same year.

Leonard Achan, Chief Innovation Officer of Special Surgery Hospital commented:“Since March 2016, HSS and Lima have been jointly carrying out multiple projects under the overall development agreement. Lima has placed a strategic focus on establishing its ProMade custom planting business, which is a way to start from the additive manufacturing industry. The market segment has benefited a lot, and the service level of the plastic surgery industry is quite low.”

Because of HSS’ unique ability to deal with complex joint reconstruction conditions and experience, design and use of customized, patient-specific implant solutions, both organizations have another opportunity to collaborate and leverage the complementary talents of others.
HSS’s new on-site facility is the product of this collaboration, and it will be used to design and produce patient-specific3D printingMedical equipment.

3D printingIn 2007 atLimaCommercially launched. The company uses patented Trabecular Titanium technology to produce implants that mimic the natural structure of bones. GE Additive company Arcam is responsible for using its electron beam melting (EBM) technology toLimaEquipment for3D printing. In particular, the trabecular titanium hip cup has proven to be effective after more than 10 years of implantation in the patient’s body.
In addition to passing3D printingMedical devices improve cell ingrowth (compared to traditionally manufactured implants), and Lima can also customize each implant for the patient.By putting3D printingCombining functions with HSS in New York, the partners hope to establish a more symbiotic relationship between clinicians and technicians, thereby improving the patient experience.

“Through cooperation, we expect that there will be more and more interactions between clinicians and designers, and the design process of each custom case will be faster and faster.” Achan added. “By manufacturing in New York City, these devices are expected to avoid time-consuming international transshipment and transportation.
Leveraging Lima’s capabilities in additive manufacturing will help minimize the need for more time-consuming traditional manufacturing methods, resulting in faster turnaround of equipment. “

On-site facilities are in the healthcare sector3D printingOne of the most promising developments in the future that may change lives.Others have already taken the initiative on site3D printingThe facilities include the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, as well as the anatomical simulation laboratory, the heart of the Phoenix Children’s Hospital in Arizona3D printingLaboratory and Basel University Hospital and its3D printinglaboratory.And the award-winning company 3D LifePrints from the UK has introduced to the hospital3D printingThe mission of the facility.

Achan made a concluding comment on the new LimaCorporate facility, “It is expected that this enhanced partnership and collaboration will bring about new innovations in the treatment of complex joint reconstruction.”
