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.

Part of the 10th International Congress on Ceramics, organized by the American Ceramic Society
July 14–18, 2024 | Hotel Bonaventure | Montreal, QC
