Hello there! Following up on last week's post, today I want to share a new project. 😁 In the "Sustainable Process Design" course, I tackled the challenge of reading, understanding, and presenting in a few minutes a famous paper on Additive Manufacturing (AM). I chose to delve into the environmental impact of producing Ti-6Al-4V knee implants, comparing conventional manufacturing (CM) methods with additive manufacturing (AM), specifically using Electron Beam Melting (EBM). Generally, AM significantly outperforms CM in terms of total energy consumption and CO2 emissions due to its excellent material efficiency, especially for complex geometries. Thus, the key point of this paper is to highlight the potential of AM to enhance sustainability in medical device production. However, I found it interesting that, when focusing only on the actual manufacturing phase of EBM, it consumes more energy and emits more CO2 than CM approaches. Despite this, by setting the boundaries of the study to include the preparation and extraction of materials, the paper demonstrates that Electron Beam Melting is a much more sustainable option overall, reducing environmental impact while improving global efficiency. This underscores the importance of considering the entire production chain and setting appropriate boundaries in analyses to truly understand the sustainability of manufacturing processes. #SustainableDesign #AdditiveManufacturing #AM #ElectronBeamMelting #SustainabilityEngineering #KneeImplant #Unimore #Carpi

To fabricate Au-doped photopolymer plasmonic filters, start by preparing a photopolymer solution and coating a clean substrate, like glass or silicon, with this solution. Expose the coated substrate with RMPD-mask to create the desired pattern. Develop the substrate to remove unexposed areas, revealing the structured photopolymer. Optionally, perform a thermal treatment to enhance stability. Characterize the filter using optical spectroscopy, SEM, or AFM, and then integrate it into optical systems or devices, ensuring it meets performance requirements for applications like sensing or imaging. #Photonik #3Dprinting #RMPD info@microTEC-D.com

Two track LPBF modeling using AM PravaH Ti6Al4V is a standard alloy used in additive manufacturing for multiple industries such as aerospace, medical implants and others. Here we have done LPBF 4-phase multiphase modeling for detailed melt pool and defect analysis for a two-track single-layer scan pattern. This simulation uses the software "AM PravaH" developed by Paanduv Applications. #lpbf #additivemanufacturing #ampravah #3printing

📢 Everything is in place - so we can get started right away! New optical analysis and and measurement options at #SpineServ! With the help of the Keyence VL-700, an optical 3D coordinate measuring machine, components and medical devices can be scanned with µm accuracy. It therefore offers accurate and precise analysis results and data. It is the ideal complement to microscopy: the microscope images surface changes (wear- (types), corrosion, deformation, mechanical failure, etc.).The 3D extend of these changes can then be quantified with a 3D scanner. We use the equipment among other for: 🔦 Dimensional accuracy tests in #medicaldevicetesting - for example cones and threads of small bore connectors 🔦 Reverse engineering for the production of implant-specific holding and clamping devices 🔦 Before and after comparison of #implants and other medical devices (geometry before testing versus geometry after testing), both qualitatively (localization of deviations) and quantitatively (volume, expansion, depth, etc.) 🔦 #Endoprostetics: localisation of deformations, wear of joint replacement or sphericity measurement for hip implants   For more information contact our experts! https://lnkd.in/ecPm87uW #medicaldevicetesting #implanttesting #spineserv #keyence #opticalanalysis #medicaldevices
