Medicine and dentistry are evolving faster than ever. Every year, surgeons and dental professionals demand higher precision, lighter components, and patient-specific solutions. Traditional methods, such as milling or casting, are reaching their limits, while additive manufacturing opens up new possibilities for truly customized, high-performance medical devices and implants.
AltForm supports medical device manufacturers, dental laboratories, and research institutions with advanced Powder Bed Fusion, Direct Energy Deposition, and laser-based precision processes designed to ensure reliability, accuracy, and biocompatibility.
Precision that starts with design
Every patient is different, and so should be their implants, prosthetics, and surgical tools.
AltForm’s Powder Bed Fusion systems enable the creation of personalized parts that replicate anatomical features and fit naturally to the patient’s morphology.
Our systems deliver unmatched precision on complex geometries and fine details, ensuring consistent dimensional accuracy and repeatability.
This precision translates into:
- customized dental implants and crowns with perfect adaptation
- lightweight orthopedic plates and screws with optimized porosity
- surgical instruments tailored to individual procedures
- anatomical models for surgical planning and training
Additive manufacturing allows these devices to be produced directly from digital scans, drastically reducing time between design, validation, and patient treatment.
Biocompatible materials for safety and performance
AltForm supports materials specifically designed for medical use, including titanium alloys (Ti6Al4V), cobalt-chrome, and stainless steels commonly used in certified medical production.
These materials combine biocompatibility, mechanical strength, and corrosion resistance, ensuring long-term performance inside the human body.
Our process control and monitoring systems ensure full traceability and quality consistency, helping manufacturers comply with ISO 13485 and other regulatory frameworks required for medical certification.
Additive manufacturing for advanced dental production
In the dental sector, additive manufacturing transforms how laboratories design and produce crowns, bridges, partial dentures, and implant bars. With AltForm’s Print 100 and Print 200 systems, dental professionals can process precious alloys or pure titanium with excellent surface quality and dimensional repeatability.
The blue laser option on the Print Blue 100 enables the processing of high-reflective materials such as gold, platinum, and silver, expanding creative and functional possibilities for both medical and aesthetic applications.
From 3D scanning of the patient’s mouth to the final component, the entire process can be completed digitally in just a few hours, with full control over design and manufacturing parameters.
DED-based remanufacturing of medical tooling
In hospitals and biomedical workshops, certain surgical tools and mechanical components experience wear but do not require full replacement. With Direct Energy Deposition, these can be repaired or rebuilt locally, reducing cost and downtime.
DED enables:
- reconstruction of worn surfaces
- reinforcement of high-stress areas
- extension of tool lifespan without replacing the entire device
Remanufacturing is particularly valuable for high-cost surgical instruments or components that are difficult to source quickly.
Digital workflows for precision and reliability
AltForm’s software suite integrates fleet management, process monitoring, predictive maintenance, and data governance, ensuring complete control and traceability of every component produced.
Our AI-enabled HMI assists operators through setup, calibration, troubleshooting, and maintenance, reducing errors and improving consistency in certified environments.
This digital layer supports the growing need for repeatable, validated processes in medical and dental manufacturing.
