Material |
Typical Applications |
Titanium |
Ideal and bio-compatible for skeletal and internal joint orthopedic applications, Titanium has great strength-to-weight ratio and is corrosion-resistant. It can also be 3D printed or machined to meet tight tolerances |
Stainless Steel & Inconel |
Medical grade stainless steel is easy to sterilize, heat resistant and excellent for making precision surgical instruments. These materials are also corrosion resistant and can be used as implants for bone replacement. |
Nylon & ABS |
Nylon and ABS are ideal for making medical appliances and other medical instruments. They are 3D-printable and are excellent for rapid prototyping or on-demand use parts. |
Silicone and TPE |
Silicone and TPE are ideal for custom parts that will have high interaction against the surface of the skin. These materials are excellent for handhelds and wearables and have chemical resistance. |
POM, PEI and PEEK |
POM, PEI and PEEK are engineering-grade plastics that have high strength and durability. They can be used in orthopedic applications for support around joints. These materials are sterilizable with high fatigue and creep resistance. |
