Abstract:
Additive manufacturing (AM) has evolved far beyond its origins as a small-scale technology. Many companies have successfully established themselves in the market and continue to grow. AM’s ability to enable the precise, customized, and efficient production of complex structures has opened doors across various industries. In particular, personalized medicine has benefited greatly from the demand for patient-specific implants, prostheses, and medications, allowing AM to realize its full potential.
For over a decade, the 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing Technologies group at the Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien), led by Prof. Jürgen Stampfl, has been conducting innovative research into additive manufacturing technologies based on photopolymerization. This presentation will provide an overview of the group's advancements in recent years, successful spin-offs, ongoing research, and potential future directions. Given that AM holds its greatest promise in personalized medicine, we will also showcase approved 3D-printed medical products from industry partners.
Additionally, a detailed look into current PhD research will highlight the 3D printing of hybrid bioceramic materials for use as bone replacement materials. The sinter-joining technique, which combines bone ceramics (such as hydroxyapatite and tricalcium phosphate) with zirconia to selectively enhance bone implants, will be presented.
