PrinterPrezz is exploring collaboration opportunities to develop 3D-printed medical implants in Singapore. The agreement is intended to expand the development and adoption of implantable products leveraging expertise in Additive Manufacturing and nanotechnologies for the healthcare sector.
The company has already developed relationships with local health systems in the manufacture of spinal implants. New initiatives will explore collaborations in the design and development of additional 3D-printed implantable products, as well as R&D in musculoskeletal areas and orthopedics.
PrinterPrezz is accelerating its global expansion into the Asia-Pacific region by establishing a design and innovation team in Singapore. The company receives strong support from the Singapore government and industry, which have placed a strong emphasis on investing in advanced manufacturing technologies and capabilities to progress industry growth, including the healthcare vertical.
Shri Shetty, Founder and CEO of PrinterPrezz, said: “We have had a collaborative relationship with [National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Cluster] NAMIC since 2019 and are now in a position to expand our innovation activities and outreach to the clinical community by establishing a strong presence on the ground in Singapore. This will allow us to grow in the region from a solid base of support from the Singapore government, who understand the importance of advanced manufacturing technology and its impact on medical science.”
