With additive manufacturing (AM) offering medical technology designers great freedom, successful results require integrating manufacturing solutions from start to finish. Powder bed AM technology, a well-established supplement to conventional machining processes, is already producing medical devices ranging from dentures and bone plates to implant sets.
As the demand for AM parts grows, DMG MORI engineers know there’s the need to support customers with integrated manufacturing solutions – programming software, selective laser melting, and machining centers – to tackle their projects. This has led to the manufacturing technology company recently opening its Medical Center of Excellence in Chicago, Illinois, to develop end-to-end processes for customers’ applications.
