3D printing is the future and we’re leading the way!

Orthoplastics is pleased to add 3D printing to its in-house manufacturing capabilities.

The new Stratasys OBJET 30 machine has the ability to instantly produce design prototypes and fixtures and is very much a new operational tool for modern manufacturing environments.

This recent acquisition has made our intricate design processes and modelling much sharper, quicker and accurate and underpins our core ability to respond to our customers’ complex requirements covering a broad spectrum of orthopaedic designs and applications.

A big performance machine with an amazingly small footprint!

Our decision to invest in the Stratasys OBJET 30 machine was deliberate given it combines the accuracy and versatility of a high-end rapid prototyping machine with the small footprint of a desktop 3D printer.

Orthoplastics comments, “Now that we have a 3D printing capacity, we have the power and tools to create realistic models with specialised properties quickly, efficiently and easily – and all of this in-house to exacting specifications.”

We can create highly realistic 3D models using the latest print technology

“With its astonishingly realistic aesthetics and ability to deliver special properties such as transparency, flexibility and even biocompatibility, we think it represents the future of high performance design in the field of UHMWPE orthopaedic design across the medical world.”
