Evonik now offers a broader range of RESOMER® PrintPowder polymers to enable the 3D printing of personalized implantable medical devices. The new powders are available globally for 3D printing through selective laser sintering (SLS).
Thanks to a broader range of customizable mechanical properties and degradation rates, the new powders can be used for more complex and tailored medical devices including diverse orthopedic, dental or soft tissue applications. Evonik also offers comprehensive SLS application and printing service support for the new powder types.
The new polymer print powders build on the success of the first-generation free-flowing RESOMER® PrintPowder C 212 F. This powder, which was launched in 2020, is based on polycaprolactone and offers tight specifications and an optimized particle size distribution for SLS. In contrast, the new range of polymers, which are now available for sampling and customer evaluation, add polylactide or polydioxanone-based polymers into the portfolio for SLS printing.
“We are proud that these new powders will allow manufacturers to create personalized devices with complex internal designs that match a patient’s anatomy – this will open up new treatment options for patients,” said Thomas Riermeier, Head of Evonik’s Health Care business line.
