Origami
The main objective of the project is to develop a manufacturing process that combines basic additive manufacturing technologies with post-processing operations. Establishing, in this way, a process capable of producing valuable products for biomedical applications and that, at the same time, manages to reduce manufacturing times.
The obtained structure is formed by porosity systems for applications in the biomedical sector, using calcium phosphate-based ceramics or silica glass with excellent biological properties and mesh structure designs to optimize their mechanical characteristics, aiming to meet the needs of certain spinal surgery applications and bone repair for cancer-related diseases. In this process, the collaboration and development of trabecular structures with the FAME company is essential, since this company contributes its extensive know-how.
The focus of the project is based on the development of new technology for additive manufacturing processes. This allows us to create biomedical products with high added value that, technologically, may apply to many other sectors in the future.
