What is 3D-printing? 3D-printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is the future of spinal implants. This process can be used to complement traditional machinery or alone. With whatever material is being used, a 3D-printer will fuse the material one part at a time. This part is different from traditional manufacturing because the printer will not follow a mold. Instead, it will start with a Computer-Aided Design (CAD) file. This CAD file is a 3D figure. The 3D figure is then sliced into a thousand 2D sliced images by the computer. The 2D slices are primitive to make a solid object. The 3D-printing machine creates a tool path to create these 2D images and they are layered, or “added” on top of each other. In this way, this process is a layer-by-layer additive process. This process can use metals, ceramics, polymers, biodegradable materials. For biomedical devices, 3D-printed titanium is superior to other versions of titanium because the 3D-printing process allows for design features of the implant to cater to optimal healing. SAGICO looks forward to the ways this technology changes the spine space for the better.
