On March 23, 2016, Nasdaq-listed Amedica announced that it first produced a complex silicon nitride 3D structure using a 3D printing technique called Robotic Deposition or Robocasting. It is reported that Amedica is a biomaterials company that uses the tantalum nitride technology platform to develop and manufacture its medical equipment .
The final product has been verified by the integrity and validity of the 3D printing method under an electronic scanning microscope and has been shown to have similar theoretical density and microstructure to current silicon nitride devices fabricated using conventional techniques.
“This innovation fully demonstrates our manufacturing capabilities and research capabilities,†said Dr. Sonny Bal, Chairman and CEO of the company. “3D printing of complex ceramic materials opens the door to the future, especially with its cost advantages and the ability to address the needs of various OEM partners. Customized additive manufacturing is a modern advancement and we are proud to be able to own nitrogen The 3D printing aspect of silicon formulations is ahead of the curve, and our technology has advantages in bone graft fusion, antimicrobial performance and strength."
It is understood that the so-called mechanical deposition is a molding technique that uses dense ceramics and composite materials for high colloidal mud stratification. This process can actually use less glue and the unit can be fully sintered within 24 hours. Because of these advantages, Amedica is currently advancing the commercialization of 3D printed silicon nitride implants. Moreover, such 3D printed implant devices can control their porosity levels to meet specific clinical needs. It is said that this unique manufacturing process has great prospects for the manufacture of silicon nitride implants, and it is also possible to customize the manufacture of bone supports for cell differentiation and neovascularization.
