Medical device manufacturers are increasingly embracing SLM technology for a wide range of medical devices and dental prostheses. SLM serves as an ideal production method, seamlessly integrating functionality into components. For instance, lattice structures for surgical implants enhance osseointegration and minimize stress shielding. SLM efficiently produces complex bionic geometries tailored to customized patient anatomy. This innovative technology offers significant productivity and cost advantages over traditional processes such as casting and machining.
