Revolutionizing Medical Implants: ZykloMed Develops Cost-Effective Machining Techniques

In its recent phase of advancements, a German research project ZykloMed presented three new procedures of machining potent medical implants. These processes help to solve the issues arising during the manufacturing of new implants that have demanding forms and functions also preserving their compatibility with the body tissue and the reasonableness of the prices.
The project to establish the diagnosis tool as a Web 2.0 application was realised by four partners; the financing was provided by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research. The researchers developed three processes: There is eccentric turning, polygon turning and turn whirl milling. All the above techniques rely on the idea of rotary cutting and the use of two rotary axes for cutting non-circle and curved shapes.
The new processes offer several advantages, including:The new processes offer several advantages, including:
* Cost-effective production: This can reduce the amount of steps that are needed for manufacturing and in turn, also reduce manufacturing costs very sharply.
* Improved design freedom: Creating complicated designs is possible, and thus, the advancement of functional and biocompatible implants is achieved.
* Potential for broader applications: Therefore, it may be possible to apply the developed technology to other industries other than the manufacturing of medical devices.
Thus, if near-series production testing is successful, ZykloMed creates the prerequisites for the use of improvement and, accordingly, the reduction of manufacturing costs for innovative medical implants.
