Quality assurance of additively manufactured implants

From powder to additively manufactured components

Additive manufacturing offers great potential for many medical products: From hip, knee and spinal implants to trauma components and patient-specific products (PSP). In order to produce precise, reproducible and FDA-compliant additively manufactured medical components, strict quality assurance requirements must be met.

ZEISS Medical Industry Solutions offers safe and holistic processes. Our comprehensive portfolio of hardware and software solutions enables effective and efficient quality assurance at the highest level.

Top-class manufacturing process

The layer-by-layer additive manufacturing process enables the production of customized orthopaedic implants. The quality assurance processes must go hand in hand with the individual steps of the manufacturing process in order to avoid faulty products. ZEISS solutions aim to detect defects at an early stage in order to save time and money. We work with our customers from feasibility testing to non-destructive inspection to keep pace with evolving technology and give them the confidence to choose additive manufacturing in an economical way.
