The 3D printer (Apium M220) based on Material Extrusion Technology designed specifically to manufacture medical devices by company named Apium Additive Technologies from Germany. Apium M220 processes high temperature polymers such as PEEK without influencing the Bio Compatibility properties of the material and it is capable of 3D printing implants up to class III. The 3D printer can be installed at any hospital providing benefits to everyone involved in the ecosystem of Implant Manufacturing.

Reduction of risk by patient specific implants, so that the implant is manufactured in a way that it fits the patients anatomy unlike conventional manufacturing where standard implants are fixed to patients.

Overall Cost Efficiency: If the PSI are manufactured using 3D printing, the overall surgery time gets shortened as there will be no alteration needed during operation such as cutting of original bones.
