FibreTuff biomaterials have been used for 3D printing bone like models to replace cadaver bone saving $$ and providing an improved ROI for hospitals and medical centers.
3D printed micropores with FibreTuff medical grade filament by nScrypt. The 3D printing of the pores are symmetrical and consistent. This FibreTuff biomaterial technology will promote bio printing platform for cell and tissue in growth.
FibreTuff biomaterial compounds produce 3D Printing filament / powders to replace cadaver work. FibreTuff has bone like qualities such as look and feel with radiopacity, excellent screw retention, sawing and cutting ability,
3D Printed femur has radiopacity with look and feel of actual bone. Bone like features with biocompatibility can be achieved by 3D Printing FibreTuff biomaterials versus other natural fiber thermoplastic compositions have failed due to toxicity, high shear sensitivity and burning when process temperature is greater >220C. medical
FibreTuff has passed USP Class VI testing performed by NAMSA for temporary implants. These FibreTuff biomaterial compounds are made with cellulose to produce filaments for 3D Printing in development of lower cost devices and eventually implants. Benefits in using FibreTuff utilize standard medical sterilization methods - Autoclave and Gamma.
Through 3D printing of scaffolds with FibreTuff biomaterials, in vitro testing showed conductive properties for tissues and bone in growth. These tests were preformed by a Medical college in Northeast Ohio.
