The rapid development of PBF-EB Technique in the manufacturing of medical implants
With the official approval of the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) on July 20, 2023, the titanium alloy acetabular cup system developed by our first partner using the electron beam 3D printing equipment (Y150) produced by our company has been approved. So far, more than 10 customers in the medical field are using our company’s full industry chain resources such as electron beam 3D printing powder raw materials, equipment (Y150, Y150Plus, T200), and processes to develop orthopedic implant products and register Type 3 of medical devices. This marks the establishment of an independent, controllable, and innovative research and production system for domestically produced electron beam 3D printed orthopedic implants. The printing materials used include titanium alloy, tantalum metal, zirconium niobium alloy, covering all orthopedic application scenarios such as standardized and personalized hip joints, knee joints, spine, and maxillofacial. In the process of cooperating with our customers, our company fully leverages the advantages of the entire industry chain of electron beam 3D printing, providing comprehensive one-stop services including raw material support, equipment operation, software support, scanning strategy, and process optimization. We also assist customers in verifying raw materials, equipment, and processes. The dimensional accuracy, mechanical properties, chemical composition, and pore structure characteristics
