CADskills Creates 3D Printed Titanium Jaw Implants

The most common metal of choice for 3D printed medical implants is titanium, due to its low density and high strength. Titanium has been used many times to fabricate 3D printed jaw implants, which is the specialty of medical device startup CADskills, based in Belgium. The startup focuses on patient-specific implants for craniomaxillofacial (CMF) and neurosurgery patients, including its innovative AMSJI, a new generation of subperiosteal implant. AMSJI stands for Additively Manufactured Subperiosteal Jaw Implant, and according to CADskills, this 3D printed titanium jaw implant can make life much better for people who suffer from extreme maxillary atrophy.
