3D Printing Award For FibreTuff Rapid+TCT 2022
FibreTuff awarded as Medical Enabling and Emerging Technology for 3D printing RAPID+TCT 2021/2022
Founded in 2015, FibreTuff was born out of a passion for 3D printing by Robert Joyce. The company continues to advance the FibreTuff technology in both biocompatible filaments and powders.

This 3D Printing of FibreTuff PAPC biocompatible filaments produced the cranial flap shown above, having high resolution and the necessary heating chamber to help the layering process with a nylon based composition FibreTuff.
3D Printed FibreTuff has "bone like" qualities
FibreTuff will absorb moisture to increase flexibility and impact
Bone gets brittle after being removed from body. Body fluids promote better elasticity as well as impact, FibreTuff biocompatible filaments and powders are hydrophilic and reacts to moisture very similar to bone. Other 3D printing 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 biocompatible filaments 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 3D printing 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.
University Abstracts
Duquesne University prints Hyoid Bone with FibreTuff for bone fracture investigation.
Roger Sherman's presented at Duquesne University this poster for Graduate Research Symposium. His work with Dr's Hammer, Viator and Marshall was outstanding. This use case by 3D printing FibreTuff biocompatible filaments as a hyoid bone will help professional's understand damage to the neck and simulate fractures.
Investigation by Implant Research Center at Drexel University on FibreTuff
Abigail Tetteh PhD student at the Implant Research Center Drexel University and Dr's MacDonald and Kurtz helped produce this poster where 3D printed bone like replicas made with FibreTuff were analyzed. The data collected indicated FibreTuff biocompatible filaments produced a cancellous structure. Awesome work performed by the team to validate FibreTuff impressive 3D printing qualities. More information coming soon.
Marshall University prints biocompatible scaffolds with FibreTuff
In 2019 Marshall University professor Dr Ross Salary and his students printed FibreTuff in a FDM method to replicate bone like scaffolds and presented the poster at the Biofabrication 2019 event held in Columbus Ohio October 20-22. Dr Salary has been steadfast to analyze and find a 3D printing bone replacement with like qualities.
