New 'Samsonium' Material for 3D Printed Implants Has Been Created

[Brian_Krassenstein]

Scientists at Swansea University-UK have developed a groundbreaking new 3D printing material for replacing damaged knee cartilage. Originally meant for applications in space for satellites and orbital applications, researchers discovered Samsonium had a number of qualities--such as tensile strength, a slippery texture, and the ability to absorb impact--that made the nylon-titanium powdered material the perfect candidate for being used in knee implants. More details on this new material and what it could mean for the medical industry can be found here: http://3dprint.com/77305/samsonian-nylon-titanium/

Below you will find a sample print using this new material:
