Biocompatible material with "bone like" qualities for 3D Printing
About FibreTuff
Bioactivity Investigation with printed FibreTuff
Dr Sikder of Cleveland State University performed a Bioactivity investigation of FibreTuff having a 3D printed cellular structure. Dr Sikder used Simulated Body Fluids for testing Bioactivity, proliferation of cells and adhesion. The SEM showed FibreTuff has bioactive properties and bone like regeneration.
3D printing methods can naturally generate surface porosity with FibreTuff Technology
The 3D printing of FibreTuff can produce a cellular construction with porosity. FibreTuff is biocompatible, non re sorbable in a body, unlike bio resorb able Poly lactic acid PLA. FibreTuff will help present mechanical investigation of porous bone scaffolds with Dr Ross Salary of Marshall University at RAPID+TCT 2022 May 19th

FibreTuff has passed USP Class VI testing performed by NAMSA for temporary implants. These FibreTuff biomedical materials are made with cellulose to produce filaments for 3D Printing in development of lower cost devices and eventually implants.
FibreTuff has conductive properties without hydroxyapatite
FibreTuff for proof of concept Spine and Trauma applications
FibreTuff has conductive properties without hydroxyapatite
Through 3D printing of scaffolds with FibreTuff biomedical materials, in vitro testing showed conductive properties for tissues and bone in growth. These tests were preformed by a Medical college in Northeast Ohio.
FibreTuff filaments and prints can be annealed
FibreTuff filaments and powders are non temper mental for printing
FibreTuff has conductive properties without hydroxyapatite
By drying your FibreTuff medical grade filaments for 3D printing you can increase chances for printing success. Plus, you can increase strength and flexibility. FibreTuff filaments will need to desiccant dried and or exposed to oven heats of 225F/107C up to 2 hr.

Multi axis printing of FibreTuff to achieve bone like qualities
When 3D printing anatomical “bone like“ models with FibreTuff, the performance and construction of real bone can be emulated. There is collagen fibers in real bone and are a major structural protein for forming strands providing strength. These collagen fibers are also aligned vertically to handle applied stresses. In the authors research, cellulose fibers will mimic collagen fibers and can be printed vertically in alignment to replicate real bone.
VosFox Medical Debut
VosFox Medical located in the Netherlands, has produced hand prints using an Ultimaker 2+ and FibreTuff with impressive accuracy. Printing details coming soon. www.vosfoxmedical.com
3D Printed surgical guide made with FibreTuff
Static guides such as this one are designed and fabricated to aid in the placement of dental implants. The metal guide tube is proprietary per implant manufacturer and ensures a precise fit between the guide and the corresponding parts of the guided surgical kit. A medical model of the patient’s dentition was printed out of a resin material to check the accuracy of the FibreTuff material. The fit was found to be acceptable.
