Sunti Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Please,..Can anyone tell me.. What type of materials that can 3D print and use long term in the human body as prosthesis. PMMA, Biomed clear resin (Formlabs), etc..?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Mike Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Formlabs resin is only approved for mucosal contact, not full implantation. It is possible to print in titanium and stainless steel, but these prints are somewhat porous and not solid like machined metal. They are being printed and implanted on an experimental basis. Here is a news story about one company that does this. Angel Sosa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
