This project focuses on setting up a system for the design and manufacture of individual or individualized non-implantable medical devices used for cutting, pre-drilling, or guiding fixation elements during joint replacement surgery or extensive non-standard orthopedic and trauma procedures. It covers everything from software adaptation for rapid design of these parts, through their production by 3D printing from optimally selected materials meeting both mechanical strength and biocompatibility requirements, to their testing by medical specialists for specific indications. The main benefit is faster surgery and greater precision in implant placement, reducing risks associated with implantation and minimizing potential surgeon error.

The aim of the sub-project is to develop 3D printing materials based on thermoplastic starch. These materials address one of the growing problems of 3D printing: waste generation, whether from unnecessary prototype prints or from support structures that can no longer be reused and end up in incineration plants. In contrast, thermoplastic starch is 100% biodegradable in nature. The project will draw on the expertise of UCT Prague and BUT in modifying the properties of thermoplastic starch and on Prusa Polymers’ know-how in the production of 3D printing filaments.
