Better Surface Finish for Better Patient Outcomes With Patient Specific Implants

Surface Finish

Surface finish is imperative for implantable medical devices for several reasons. A few are pathogen spread, implant rejection, part corrosion, surface contamination, reduced lifespan, and biocompatibility. Most of these reasons are directly related to patient well-being. AddUp achieves industry-leading surface finish which in turn means less post processing and therefore cost reduction for our customers. The FormUp 350 provides advanced technology with a roller recoating system that allows many parts to meet surface finish requirements as printed and achieve an Ra value as low as 3µm.
