Advantages of Vigor Glove Box of Additive Manufacturing in the Medical Device Field

What is 3D printing technology?

The 3D printing technology, also known as additive manufacturing technology, is a process of constructing objects by printing layer on layer based on digital model files and using adhesive materials such as powdered metal or plastic. With the advancement of the medical field, the unique advantages of 3D printing have played an important role in medical device manufacturing, clinical treatment, and medical education.

3D Printing and Medical Devices

The 3D printing technology makes it possible to customize the implanted part based on the patient's physiological structure. We can create customized artificial limbs, teeth, braces, joints, etc. These customized implant can perfectly fit the patient's body and greatly improve the success rate of surgery and the living quality of the patients.

The 3D printing has a wide range of materials in the field of medical devices, including metals, polymers, ceramics, and bioinks. We will choose suitable materials based on different performance to meet the application needs of patients.

When customizing implantable devices, it is necessary to ensure that the implanted devices and materials are not contaminated by external factors and must be operated or stored in a sterile, anhydrous, and oxygen-free environment. The use of additive manufacturing glove boxes can avoid material oxidation, rust, and other issues, and a sterile environment can also improve product safety and reliability.
