Ten years ago, ERA Talent Edgar Montufar, alongside his colleagues at the Technical University of Catalunya, pioneered the extrusion-based additive manufacturing of self-hardening hydroxyapatite scaffolds.
Now, Edgar is joining forces with the expert Materials Engineering team at Lithoz to push the boundaries even further. They are developing a non-toxic, self-hardening hydroxyapatite slurry that is perfect for lithography-based additive manufacturing. 🧪✨
This cutting-edge material eliminates the need for traditional debinding and sintering processes, opening new horizons for the creation of personalized bone implants. With a biomimetic hydroxyapatite microstructure that forms at near-room temperature, these new implants promise enhanced osteoconductive and osteoinductive properties. 🌟
Stay tuned as CLiCAM continues to explore the future of advanced bone repair technologies! 🦴💡
