Challenge
The world had no precedent for a commercially produced, fully 3D-printed orthopaedic implant. Regulatory and clinical unknowns were daunting.
Solution
LimaCorporate partnered with Arcam to produce the Delta-TT acetabular shell using EBM — the world's first commercialised 3D-printed orthopaedic implant. The trabecular titanium structure promotes bone ingrowth without coatings.
