New Ortho Implant Manufacturing Facility to be Built in India
Imagine building a factory in India to make special parts for people's bones, like hip or knee replacements.
This factory will use a special 3D printing technology, like a high-tech printer that builds things layer by layer.
It's a collaboration between companies from the USA, India, and France.
The goal is to create better, cheaper implants, so people can recover faster after surgery.
The factory will be located in a special medical device park in India.
This project supports the Indian government's plan to make more things in India.
The new implants are designed with advanced 3D tech and are expected to be cheaper than current implants, meaning the patients would have a smaller financial burden.
These will allow for making custom implants, thus speeding up recovery.
OIC International, Medi Mold, and AddUp are partnering to establish an orthopaedic implant manufacturing facility in AMTZ, India.
The facility will utilize 3D-printing technology to produce implants for both domestic and global markets.
The implants aim to reduce recovery time and offer cost-effective solutions.
AddUp's metal additive manufacturing technology will be central to the facility's operations.
The collaboration aligns with India's 'Make in India' initiative and aims to address technology, affordability, and market access challenges.
