Precision medical instruments

Medical devices are becoming smaller, more expensive to assemble, and used more commonly with collaborative robotics. Miniaturization, the cost of assembly, and the complexity of designing tools for diagnostic and surgical robots are just some of the challenges that today’s medical device designers face.

Application Cases

Glaucoma Stent (Tesla Valve Design)

  • 2 μm

    Optical resolution

  • 30 μm

    Diameter

  • 2000 pieces

    Batch printing

Glaucoma Stent (Tesla Valve Design)

The model measures 1.35 × 0.8 × 2.65 mm³ with a minimum channel diameter of 30 μm, and nearly 2000 units can be printed in a single batch. It features extremely fine, minute, and complex structures, including a spring and a ball valve. The stent, equipped with a micro-spring, enables stable release of intraocular pressure, offering a revolutionary minimally invasive treatment option for glaucoma.

    Thickness

Ultra-thin zirconia dental veneers

An in-house developed zirconia slurry for additive manufacturing has been granted a Class III medical device certificate. It is used to produce dental veneers as thin as 80 μm while maintaining high strength and toughness, marking a shift in dental restoration from “invasive” to “non-invasive” procedures.
