Additive Manufacturing for Fabrication of Point-of-Care Therapies in Austere Environments | Military
Recent technological advances in additive manufacturing allow for austere deployment and point-of-care rapid fabrication of a variety of medical supplies, including human tissues and bioactive bandages, in prolonged field care scenarios. In this pilot project, our aim was to investigate the ability to 3D print a range of potential biomedical supplies and solutions in an austere field environment. FibreTuff is thankful for being selected as the biocompatible filament of choice.

Bioactivity investigation of 3D printed FibreTuff microporous cellular structure
Dr Sikder of Cleveland State University performed a Bioactivity investigation of a 3D printing FibreTuff microporous cellular structure immersed in Simulated Body Fluids. The SEM showed printed FibreTuff had apatite formation.
Dentistry opportunities with 3D printed micropores
FibreTuff biocompatible filament has been 3D printed in a micropore cellular structure exposed to simulated body fluids without pore closure. Many dentistry applications for FibreTuff. Further, the FibreTuff is hydrophilic with repeating peptides and proteins. Write robert@fibretuff.us for more information.
3D Printed Cranio maxillofacial bone made with FibreTuff
A Dr Cafino in the Philippines worked with FibreTuff customer service for a couple hours to get the appropriate print settings to produce this temporal bone. The printed temporal bone made with FibreTuff filament on an Ultimaker are pictured. After 3D printing a successful temporal bone model for pre surgical planning he drilled into the model at 20,000 RPM for simulation. His goals were achieved and more.
FibreTuff conforms to RSNA standards
A Dr Hartman, cranio maxillofacial surgeon at Hartman Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, P.C. has printed FibreTuff medical grade filament and produced anatomical bone like models for CT scans.His work confirms 3D printing FibreTuff meets the standards set by the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) per the November 2018 published paper
VosFox Medical Debut has printed FibreTuff hand model with 27 bones
VosFox Medical located in the Netherlands, has printed segmented bone like models to produce human hands using an Ultimaker 2+ and FibreTuff filament. The company explains the process and technique for printing the hand bone models with FibreTuff on they're website and how to purchase.
VosFox Medical is printing segmented Foot bones with FibreTuff filament
VosFox Medical an established 3D printing company in Europe uses Ultimaker with FibreTuff to print biocompatible bone like replicas. These printed foot bone segments were connected with wires and glued. On the Vosfox Medical website Sandra de Vos, founder, explains how the printed foot bone was manufactured. She will sell both the bone like foot and hand models.
3D Printed FibreTuff has "bone like" qualities
FibreTuff will absorb moisture to increase flexibility
Bone gets brittle after being removed from body. Body fluids promote better elasticity as well as impact, FibreTuff is hydrophilic and reacts to moisture very similar to bone. Other 3D printed medical biomaterials like PLA will absorb and store moisture until the composition breaks down. FibreTuff biocompatible materials will absorb moisture to a point and promote less brittleness and improve impact.
Non Binary Radiographic images have been printed with FibreTuff
These spinal spacers made with FibreTuff medical grade filament are seen under CT Scan with vitamin E capsule. The spacers were positioned on top of a jug of water to help resemble body fluids. The radiographic images will identify bone bridging. Bone will be brighter than the printed objects made with FibreTuff.
FibreTuff has Radiopacity
3D printing FibreTuff has "bone like" feel and appearance with radiopacity. The printed FibreTuff biocompatible filaments were used to achieve the radiopacity seen in the CT Scan of the vertebrae. This independent study performed by 3D LifePrint evaluated and compared other materials they have used for anatomical bone models. 3D LifePrint found FibreTuff to be more bone like ( HU 400 ) than any other materials presently printed today in the medical market.
