3D Printed FibreTuff PAPC, Amphiphilic + Bioactive
Today's Medical Developments Magazine By Clare Scott Published May 26, 2026
Innovative Plastics and Molding, Inc. started as a small company focused on the molding, extrusion, and 3D printing of biocompatible materials. The FibreTuff Technology has advanced to compete globally innovating new medical devices and implants.
2026 Global research initiatives of bioactive n-HaNylon66
Global initiatives have been increasing in China, India, Iran, and Europe to publish research - in vivo studies utilizing n- HaNylon66 for bioactive medical implantable's. The applications include spine, trauma and orthopedics. The obvious advantages of the implantable Nylon66 platform over other biomaterials - lowering costs with better performance
Additive Manufacturing "dual use" medical technology at Point of Care (POC)
Our FibreTuff Technology has been evaluated by both US military and civilian health care services for Point of Care(POC).
Collaborative Initiative's in 2026 will identify ML / AI applications for 3D Printed FibreTuff PAPC
The 3D printed FibreTuff PAPC features an innovative non-resorbable cellular structure that exhibits bone-like radiopacity. This bone-like characteristic is essential for effective detection with diagnostic sensors such as CT scans and ultrasound, enabling the collection of valuable data that supports machine learning (ML) processes. Additionally, a patent-pending algorithm developed by MTU utilizes reinforcement learning control, creating a closed-loop adaptive manufacturing environment that emphasizes the amphiphilic and biocompatible attributes of the FibreTuff material.

Robert Joyce participated at the 2025 Foams conference to discuss Light weighting and bone like properties.
Fall 2024 Presentations - 3D printing FibreTuff PAPC for Additive Manufacturing
Robert Joyce will present at three conferences during the fall of 2024. He will attend the SPE FOAMS 2024 conference in King of Prussia from September 17-20, the Advanced Manufacturing Minneapolis 2024 on October 16-17, and the AMI Performance Polyamides in Cleveland in November. At these events, he will share insights from his 20+ years of experience in developing innovative foaming technology, specifically related to 3D printing biocompatible materials. His groundbreaking work has led to the creation of FibreTuff PAPC+Nylon66, an amphiphilic biocompatible material that showcases performance characteristics similar to bone-like structures.
