3D printing FibreTuff for medical implant prototypes
FibreTuff drop in replacement for CNC Machining orthopaedic implants with PEEK
An orthopaedic spine implant for proof of concept made from 3D Printing FibreTuff. The CNC Machining process will show a bone like appearance with no visible degradation of the cellulose fibers. The FibreTuff has a unique surface texture to accept novel hydroxyapatite coatings.
Bar stock available in 16mm, 20mm and 30mm dia. for CNC machining
By 3D printing FibreTuff medical grade biomaterials into bar stock for machining purposes to manufacture bone like prototypes for implants such as TLIF, Spine cages one can achieve interesting performance. Lengths are limited to certain sizes and construction. For stl files to print bar stock contact robert@fibretuff.us
FibreTuff has remarkable screw retention and laser cutting ability
Though 3D printing the bar stock made with FibreTuff, it was CNC milled, laser cut with push pin for proof of concept performed by medical company for evaluation.
