ZEISS Medical Technology Day | Metal Additive Manufacturing for Implants

Additive Manufacturing provides a flexible solution in orthopedics, using biocompatible materials and polymer to fabricate implantable devices. In this session, Dale Swarts, 3D printing orthopedics expert, discusses using advanced materials and the importance of in-process inspection to meet medical industry demands.

You’ll also see demonstrations using ZEISS technologies to inspect these diverse materials having tighter and more complex tolerances!

Attendees will have a chance to win prize giveaways from ZEISS!
