The Swedish Ministry of Enterprise and Innovation tasked their innovation agency Vinnova to assemble a group of European companies to develop new, low cost, biodegradable materials for customized prosthetic and assistive devices. Heading up the project will be world-leading research institute Innventia, which uses research, technology and materials based on forest raw materials to develop new products. The interdisciplinary project, called AMPOFORM, will require leveraging both the chemistry of bio-based materials and 3D printing technology to simplify the manufacturing of prostheses, so both technicians and patients can save time and money.
