Iranian Company Develops 3D Printer for Personalized Medical Implants
WANA (Nov 18) – A knowledge-based Iranian company has developed a new 3D printer capable of designing and producing personalized medical implants for areas from the neck upward. According to the developers, the device can significantly reduce manufacturing costs for producers as well as treatment expenses for patients.
Alireza Eskandari, a specialist in additive manufacturing technologies, explained that the company not only builds industrial 3D printers but has also established the largest 3D printing service workshop in the country. The facility currently offers the widest range of materials and manufacturing methods available domestically.
He noted that the newly introduced system, known as the “Material-Peak 3D Printer,” has been launched this year as a practical innovation in the medical industry. The device is designed specifically for producing customized implants for the neck, jaw, facial structure, and skull, addressing an important need within the country’s healthcare sector.
Localization of 3D Bioprinter Technology for Human Tissue in Iran
WANA (Aug 03) – Specialists at a knowledge-based Iranian company have succeeded in developing a 3D bioprinter for human tissue—an advanced technology that, until now, was only available to five countries worldwide. This achievement marks a significant step forward in the production of heart tissue, cartilage, and bone implants. Imagine a scenario where a […]
Eskandari highlighted two key advantages of the technology: a significant reduction in production costs for implant manufacturers and lower overall expenses for patients. Increased production speed and the ability to manufacture highly complex structures were also mentioned as major strengths of the new system.
According to him, all devices developed by the company are fully designed and manufactured in-house without relying on reverse engineering, although certain components still need to be imported due to the absence of domestic manufacturing capabilities.
He added that the printer eliminates the need for mold-making—a process that can take several months—and enhances the accuracy and feasibility of producing complex medical components.
Regarding exports, Eskandari stated that the main challenge remains ensuring flawless after-sales services in foreign markets. He expressed optimism that, with continued support programs and by addressing service-related obstacles, the company will soon be able to export its technology to other countries.
