ICC’10 - An Industrial Example: Powder to 3D Print Production
Presentation by Esther Valliant, PhD, Himed Biomaterials Research Scientist
There is no denying excitement for 3D printing of ceramics, including calcium phosphate bioceramics, especially for prototyping new designs and patient-specific medical devices. As this technology is still in the early stages, there are limited examples of the successful adoption of 3D-printed calcium phosphate medical devices in industry. Biomaterials Research Scientist Esther Valliant, PhD, presents a case study from a manufacturer’s perspective embracing this technology and covering the full manufacturing chain: from the production of the ceramic powder, to custom 3D-printing ink development, to prototype production of hydroxyapatite (HA) medical devices for the customer.
This talk will be delivered during Symposium 9: Next Generation Bioceramics and Bioglasses | Session: Dental and orthopedic bioceramics.

OMTEC 2024 In-Booth Presentation
Presentation by Esther Valliant, PhD, Himed Biomaterials Research Scientist
Thursday, June 13, 2024
10:00 AM - 10:15 AM CDT
Exhibit Hall | Booth 247
3D-printing of bioactive ceramics like hydroxyapatite for medical devices is an exciting new technology. It can produce complex geometries that are impossible through conventional manufacturing. However, there are considerable barriers to entry. Developing prototypes or performing small-scale preliminary testing requires huge investment and specialized expertise.
To help orthopedic device manufacturers explore this new frontier of healing technologies, Himed has created a new contract research lab — the Bioceramics Center of Excellence (BCOE) — to conduct rapid R&D of calcium phosphate technology through bioink composition and material enhancements.
This presentation will highlight how the BCOE can reduce barriers for companies that are exploring bioceramic solutions like 3D printing. It covers:
Reducing risk by outsourcing prototypes
Material parameters to meet manufacturers’ design goals
Iterative design and preliminary testing
Refining process and parameters for scale-up manufacturing

Surface treatment plays a crucial role in improving the biocompatibility and bioactivity of medical devices. Bioactive surface treatments are applied to medical devices to improve their interaction with biological tissues. These treatments can promote desired biological responses such as cell adhesion, tissue integration, and reduced inflammation. Medical device manufacturers are often tasked with the arduous feat of developing new and improved materials to enhanced the implant surface. This presentation provides an overview of various surface treatment techniques employed to enhance the performance of medical devices.

Ceramics Expo 2024 - The Great Variability of Hydroxyapatite: Exploring Different Forms and Unique Materials Engineering Applications
Presentation by Craig Rosenblum, Himed President
April 30, 2024 | 1:00–1:50 PM | Novi, MI
With hydroxyapatite (HA), as with all things in nature, there is a high degree of variability. This can be most readily appreciated when comparing SEM images of HA manufactured with differing processes. Recognizing that the material properties of different forms of HA can dramatically impact a host of outcomes like flowability, dissolution rate, and cellular adhesion, it is important to understand two things when sourcing hydroxyapatite:
What are the functional objectives being sought from the hydroxyapatite?
What are the material properties most likely to yield those functional objectives?
This presentation offers researchers and medical device manufacturers insights into how a biomaterial like hydroxyapatite can be customized to better support the efficacy of implantable medical devices.
Please join Himed’s President, Craig Rosenblum, in conversation with Shawn Allan, VP of Lithoz America and Parimal Bapat, Principal Engineer from Orchid Orthopedic Solutions. The panel will be moderated by Tim Keenan, Assistant Professor of Biomaterials Engineering, Alfred University.
