The topic of the Indiv-Implant project combines two of the most interesting and rapidly developing research and development fields: the additive manufacturing process (AM) and that of personalised medicine. The former generally refers to the production of workpieces of all kinds by additive processes such as 3D printing, which is regarded by many experts as the next industrial revolution. Personalised medicine means efforts to tailor therapies to the individual needs of individual patients in order to achieve better treatment outcomes. Both approaches have already been successfully merged in initial applications. For example, AM techniques are already being used to create individually shaped and dimensioned implants for defects of the skull bone based on CT data. Individualised implants are particularly relevant for ageing societies. On the one hand, elderly people have a significantly higher risk of suffering e.g. bone fractures; on the other hand, tissue defects generally heal worse with increasing age. The specific goal of the NFG Indiv Implant is therefore to develop individualised implants made from biodegradable biomaterials and to establish the process chains relevant for their production. In addition, the processes of 3D bioprinting are also intended to produce personalised artificial fabrics.
