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.
3D Printing FibreTuff biocompatible filaments can produce bone like skull caps for functional models used by medical centers and physicians.
3D Printing Bio fabricated parts manufactured with a FibreTuff medical grade biocompatible filaments showed collagen adhesion. The prototype symmetrical micropore structure helps to create bone like biocompatible implants.
The FibreTuff PAPC+Nylon66 has ingredients that are synergistic. The 3D Printing of PAPC biocompatible filaments will provide patient specific implants that are non resorbable with evidence based healing.
3D Printing of FibreTuff PAPC medical grade biocompatible filaments has been identified in Ultrasound images. The 3D printed PAPC could show thickness of a cranio maxillofacial bone for evidence based healing.
3D printing FibreTuff PAPC biocompatible filaments can produce bar stock for machining spine implant prototypes and surgical guides.
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 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.
The best material to replace bone is printed FibreTuff PAPC. Just like real bone, FibreTuff PAPC is brittle once fluids are removed. The 3D Printed PAPC has absorbency with a porous and non porous surface. Furthermore, the printed PAPC biocompatible materials will absorb moisture to a point, eventually wicking moisture away.Other 3D printing medical biomaterials like PLA will absorb and store moisture until the composition breaks down or degrades.
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.
This 3D printing anatomical calcaneus bone model made of FibreTuff with a laser sintering process can have bone like qualities such as good screw retention. The surgeon felt the printed bone resembled a 20 year old human bone.
Communicating new ideas to customers who need 3D printing using the most advanced medical grade biocompatible composition with bone like qualities.
The FibreTuff® technology includes USPTO trademark, patent pending applications and patented compositions, process and parts.
