Medical Additive Complex Structures
Additive manufacturing design must produce organic designs, stiffness control, surface roughness, textures and shapes and sustain manufacturability. When orthopedic implants are 3D printed at Tangible Solutions, engineers control porosity and pore size, and how structures of varying sizes connect in complex structures. nTopology optimized designs enhance how bone tissue can grow into, and around, an implant. Trabecular lattice aids bone graft volume in spinal applications, and improves bony ingrowth in both the spine and total joint replacements.

Stiffness control is a positive advantage of 3D printed orthopedic implants. Less stiffness reduces bone deterioration around an implant. Tangible micro-polished edges and round shapes facilitate implant insertion and reduce soft tissue damage.
“Traditional designs for orthopedic medical devices manufactured currently have been trabecular or organized lattices that have been limited either by engineering skills or the tools/software they are using. The next generation in orthopedic implant designs, utilizing highly advanced software programs like nTopology (used by Tangible) are mathematically driven. These tools make it possible to manufacture medical devices that were once not feasible.”
