Titanium powder offers a new level of precision in medical implants

Titanium powder 3D printing offers the prospect of a more precise upgrade in medical implants. Titanium powder exhibits excellent biocompatibility. Combined with 3D printing technology, it can be customized based on a patient's skeletal CT scan to create implants that closely match the bone structure. For example, a porous hip prosthesis can precisely control its porosity to 50%-70%, promoting bone cell ingrowth and shortening the healing cycle by 30%.

New medical titanium powders, by adding elements such as zinc and zirconium, can adjust their degradation rate to meet the needs of temporary implants. In the future, drug-loaded titanium powder printing technology is expected to be feasible, allowing implants to slowly release antibiotics or growth factors, reducing the risk of infection. With the development of personalized medicine, the market for titanium powder 3D printed implants is expected to grow at an annual rate of 25%, providing superior solutions for orthopedics, maxillofacial repair, and other fields.
