Collaborative Initiative's in 2026 will identify ML / AI applications for 3D Printed FibreTuff PAPC
The 3D printed FibreTuff PAPC features a non-resorbable cellular structure that exhibits bone-like radiopacity. This bone-like quality will be detected by sensors such as CT scans and ultrasound, providing valuable data for machine learning (ML) processing. A patent-pending algorithm developed by MTU, supported by reinforcement learning control, will create a closed-loop adaptive manufacturing environment. This innovative approach will enhance our understanding of osteointegration behavior without the need for removal, leading to evidence-based healing and improved patient outcomes through the use of biocompatible and amphiphilic materials.
