The result is a more predictable manufacturing process that consolidates production, preserves structural integrity, and helps manufacturers bring implants to market faster.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr Bryan Naab, additive lead at Croom Medical added: \u201cWith Biofuse, customers can design lattices to their exact requirements. That might mean replicating a porous structure previously produced through coating methods, or proposing lattice characteristics.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biofuse is available through Croom Medical\u2019s additive manufacturing offering, supporting projects from early design through to full-scale production.<\/p>\n<p>Croom Medical has 40 years of experience producing joint replacement implants for leading manufacturers across the world.<\/p>\n<p>ADVERTISEMENT &#8211; CONTINUE READING BELOW<\/p>\n<p>ADVERTISEMENT &#8211; CONTINUE READING BELOW<\/p>\n<p>ADVERTISEMENT &#8211; CONTINUE READING BELOW<\/p>\n<p>ADVERTISEMENT &#8211; CONTINUE READING BELOW<\/p>\n<p>ADVERTISEMENT &#8211; CONTINUE READING BELOW<\/p>\n<p>ADVERTISEMENT &#8211; CONTINUE READING BELOW<\/p>\n<p>ADVERTISEMENT &#8211; CONTINUE READING BELOW<\/p>\n<p>ADVERTISEMENT &#8211; CONTINUE READING BELOW<\/p>\n<p>ADVERTISEMENT &#8211; CONTINUE READING BELOW<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A MEDICAL technology company based in Limerick has brought a new product to market.
