Ohio-based Tangible Solutions has expanded its medical additive manufacturing capabilities with the addition of three small platform machines and a large-format printer. The new equipment is installed and fully functioning for medical device manufacturing needs.
With the large format printers, Tangible Solutions can produce parts up to 9.8 in. x 9.8 in. x 13.8 in. (250mm x 250mm x 350mm).
“Large format printers allow our customers to take full advantage of larger additive device design and achieve higher-volume objectives such as weight reduction and improved mechanical properties with a high-productivity system,” explained Adam Clark, Tangible Solutions chief executive officer. “Our printers allow us to deliver maximum performance, optimize system speed, and deliver excellent productivity and reliability.”
Tangible Solutions’ equipment expansion brings the company’s total to eight small platform machines, available to customers requiring precision titanium orthopedic medical devices. These printers use lasers to melt layers of fine metal powder and create complex metal 3D geometries with incredible precision directly from a CAD file. Tangible’s large format machines now total three.
“By increasing our inventory of small platform and large format 3D printers, we are scaling up our cutting-edge equipment to further support our customers’ medical device manufacturing needs,” added Clark.
Additive manufacturing methods of 3D printing continue to open up new paths in medical technology. “Our printers offer customers versatile medical device solutions manufactured from a broad range of materials and applications with a minimum footprint,” said Chris Collins, Tangible’s founder, executive vice president, and chief operating officer.
