Christopher Cho, staff application engineer at nTopology, explains how using a type of alloy, the engineers of Irish Manufacturing Research (IMR) and Renishaw developed an additively manufactured Anterior Cervical Interbody Device (ACID), and its effects on the process.

Additively manufactured orthopaedic implants have rapidly become one of the most exciting developments within the medical device industry.

With advancements in manufacturing outpacing regulatory guidance, the U.S. has been a hotbed for the sweeping innovation that additive has enabled within orthopaedic devices. Despite a reputation for leading in robust and expensive validation processes, the FDA has scrambled quite a bit to determine how best to regulate this emerging technology.

However, as the process for clearing additive orthopaedic devices became more widely understood,...
