G Surgiwear Ltd develops and manufactures solutions in the medical and surgical sectors (e.g. cranial implants, intervertebral cages, and a variety of bone substitutes). Its chief focus is in bringing biocompatible implants to market.
The company began considering the use of ceramic Additive Manufacturing to achieve these complex designs, eventually bridging the gap between research and full-scale production. G Surgiwear attributed its choice of 3DCeram to the company’s twenty years in the medical field, in particular noting its collaboration with the CHU de Limoges, France. G Surgiwear also attributed its decision to the company’s top-down stereolithography technology (Vat Photopolymerisation) and equipment software.
The company is currently in its R&D phase, using a 3DCeram 101 EASY FAB Additive Manufacturing machine to produce prototypes and validate designs, supported by technical assistance from SRT and 3DCeram. It is currently using the machine to produce its custom medical implants, followed by standard post-processing protocols, including cleaning, debinding, and sintering, as well as quality control procedures to ensure the parts meet quality standards.
G Surgiwear plans to scale up from this R&D capacity to industrial production, something it expects to achieve through the use of 3DCeram’s Additive Manufacturing technology.
“With [3DCeram’s] expertise, the top-down technology, and proven results in the medical sector, we feel well-positioned to develop innovative solutions that will make a real difference for patients and surgeons on the Indian market,” stated Dr GD Agrawal, chairman & Managing Director, G Surgiwear.
