Focus of the laboratory

The laboratory is focused on large-format 3D printing of PA12 polymer for medical applications. The device and the material used have a certificate for temporary invasive applications, e.g. for the creation of surgical guides for the preparation of the introduction of serial implants (endoprostheses) as well as personalized implants. The laboratory also includes equipment for chemical-mechanical removal of support material for plastic and metal additive manufacturing.

Objectives of the laboratory

• To familiarize students with selective laser sintering (SLS) technology, preparatory processes and processes after 3D printing.
• Students will acquire theoretical as well as practical knowledge and skills in the field of preparation of 3D models for printing with SLS technology, preparation of printing plates for loading into the machine (positioning and optimization), preparation and start of 3D printing and surface treatment of parts after printing (so-called postprocessing).
• They will learn to use technology to prepare and print surgical guidance systems and templates from certified application material
