“Patient-specific femoral implants, which have traditionally been cast at low margin, are now 3-D printed at a fraction of the cost at our facility in Durham, NC,” stated Kurt Jacobus, Chief Executive Officer of restor3d.
This previously-cleared additive manufacturing method for femoral implants has now been successfully commercialized. restored believes that it can outperform the mechanical properties of cast implants.
