Dental 3D printing is a new technology in the automated prosthesis manufacturing market. The manufacturing method of this system is different from the subtractive CAD / CAM milling system. Whereas CAD / CAM milling machines manufacture prostheses by milling solid ceramic materials, rapid prototyping systems or 3D printers build models layer by layer through a stacking pr...

Background Currently available fracture fixation devices that were originally developed for healthy bone are often not effective for patients with osteoporosis. Because if the bone is weak due to osteoporosis in older patients or the fracture is particularly severe then these screws may loosen or pull-out from osteoporotic bone. This may re-injure the patient and requir...

Now in the field of dental applications, as the demand for 3D printing gradually increases, the requirements for 3D printing are also getting higher and higher. Facing the market challenges, EPLUS 3D worked together Voxeldance to overcome the difficulties. After months of testing and optimization, we developed a series of excellent 3D printing pre-processing software too...

In the late 1980s, China introduced 3D printing technology into the medical industry, mainly to help doctors build 3d models of lesions for surgical plans. With the development of 3d printing technology and its deep integration with medical treatment, 3d printing has been gradually involved in the manufacture of oral restoration, customized prosthesis, surgical guide and...

Metal 3d printed implants are widely used in orthopedics field, especially artificial joints. The common metal materials involved in medical implants include: 316/316L stainless steel, Ti6Al4V, cobalt-chrome alloy. 316/316L Stainless Steel Stainless steel is the earliest implant material for human body, especially austenitic stainless steel, which has good biocompatibi...

Background: Through the traditional manufacturing method, it normally takes nearly 3 years from design to manufacture the first car from the factory. While additive manufacturing is advantageous not only because of a shorten design and production time, but also building complex structure parts. In recent years, a majority of well-known automotive brands such as BMW, Audi...

Valve is a device which is used to control the direction, pressure and the flow of fluids (liquid, gas, powder). It is an important controlling component of the fluid power system, and is widely used in mechanical products in areas such as petrochemical, mining, power, health, electronics, robot industry and so on. The emergence and mature applications of metal 3D print...

The heat exchanger is used for temperature control. It is one of the most important parts of industrial equipment. The heat exchanger allows heat to be transferred from one fluid to another, and its main purpose is to heat or cool the element. In the industrial field, the cooling function is more often used to prevent equipment from overheating. The use of heat exchange...

Polymer is the most commonly used 3D printing material due to the relatively low cost of prototyping and production compared to other 3D printing materials. - PA12 Powder PA12 is made from fine polyamide powder. Compared to traditional 3D printed plastic material, PA12 is waterproof and has excellent resistance to chemicals such as alcohol, fuels, detergents and oil....

Metal additive manufacturing refers to the technology that produces 3D parts layer by layer using metal powders. This process enables production of complex structure of industrial parts which would be otherwise impossible to manufacture through traditional methods. Eplus3D provides advancing metal 3D printing solutions to bring higher productivity, product quality and wo...

After World War II, the word "superalloy" came into being to describe a kind of high-performance alloys, which was specifically developed to extend the service life of aircraft parts exposed to extreme high temperature. Superalloy with nickel, iron, cobalt as the base, through the addition of alloy elements to achieve a variety of metal characteristics of super fusion, c...

With the introduction of CAD/CAM milling and digital 3D printing, the possibility of incompatible dental treatments has been significantly reduced to a minimum. Patients realize that they do not have to tolerate imprinted materials that taste bad and cause vomiting. They also like to get a permanent beauty crown in one visit. Most dentists, laboratory owners, technicians...

Patient-specific cranial plates are mainly used to replace absent portions of cranium for reconstructive surgery, to shield the unprotected brain from external impact, pressure, and infections. Implants in particular must be made of materials that are likely to be accepted by recipients’ bodies. Corrosion-resistance is equally as important, as our bodies’ fluids are surp...

A 3D printed surgical guide is a placement tool designed according to the principle of reverse engineering, which is made by 3D printing technology. According to CT data of the patient before spine surgery, the 3d model of the spine was reconstructed in CAD software, based on the 3d reconstruction model, the best entry point and access of the pedicle screw were planned, ...

A cupping manufacturer used Eplus3D EP-M250 SLM 3D printer to produce metal molds with conformal cooling channels, in order to improve the quality of final cuppings and injection efficiency.
