这伯明翰大学(UoB) has installed two of雷尼沙’sRenAM 500M金属添加剂制造系统为其服务Centre for Custom Medical Devices(CMD).
这systems were installed by the UoB’s School of Materials and Metallurgy to accelerate the development of customized 3D printed medical devices.Dr. Sophie Cox, Lecturer at the University’sHealthcare Technologies Institute，，，，uob，said,“Additive manufacturing increases the design freedom for medical devices. Using the technology, we have flexibility in implant geometry and material choice,”
“The installation of the RenAM 500M systems will create a new center for custom medical devices at the University of Birmingham.”
A modern generation of medical devices
这个最新的项目是为了体现学术，临床和工业实践的体现，并为研究所之间建立医疗保健伙伴关系奠定了基础。它的主要目的是将学者从各个学科联系起来，以实现additive manufacturing for medical devices。该团队的当前目标是通过治疗和解剖学对患者的现代医疗设备来增强可用的医疗保健选择。
Cox博士补充说：“我们之所以选择Renishaw，是因为它作为定制医疗设备制造商的经验，[…]作为一所大学，我们正在努力攻击ISO 13485 [医学级质量认证] Renishaw已经取得了成就，”
“This partnership is just the beginning of a pipeline of activities, where we will align our research capabilities with Renishaw’s know-how to realise the benefits of additive manufacturing for patients.”
医疗3D印刷在雷尼沙
Earlier in 2018,雷尼沙collaborated withCardiff University Dental Hospital(CUDH) to develop3D printed removable partial dentures使用其DS20光学扫描仪和AM250金属3D打印机。
在此之前,英国莫里斯顿医院在威尔士帮助挽救了一名患有肌肉癌的71岁患者的生命3D打印的钛肋骨假体。
从UOB添加Renishaw AM系统中受益的公司之一是Accentus Medical，，，，a UK based company known to modify technologies with dedicated research and development of new technologies for the medical device industry. Accentus Medical will apply the technology to the surface of 3D printed cranial plates to lower the possibility of infections.
Renishaw的医疗和牙科产品总监兼总经理Bryan Austin总结说：“这是一个非常有趣的项目，我们对行业的未来感到兴奋。通过与伯明翰卫生合作伙伴关系的合作，该大学可以获得当地医院的临床意见。”
“通过与工业，学术和临床合作伙伴合作，可以更快地生产医疗设备，成本较低，这将使接受植入物的患者受益。”
