Metal Additive Manufacturing

It’s in planes

It’s in bodies

It’s in production!

Transforming Industry

Our objective is to changehow metal products aremanufactured, transforming the industryfrom conventionalprocesses toAdditive Manufacturing

User benefit - Performance

Design freedom to produce products with new, unique properties

- Weight reduction (aero)

- Advanced cooling (aero)

- Bone ingrowth (implant)

Increased performance,making the product more valuable

2016-04-11 4

User benefit - Cost

Efficiency to replace present technology

- No tooling cost

- Shorter lead time

- Less material use, more efficient

More efficient production, reducing product cost

2016-04-11 5

Fast growing market

Additive Manufacturing in metals grow fast, at about 50% p.a.

Additive Manufacturing in metals is well established for implants and aerospace

We are in the beginning of a long growth journey

How it started

- First contacts withUniversity of Gothenburg / Biomaterials in 2004

- Project to study boneingrowth in EBM-manufactured parts initiated in 2005

- Arcam founding partner of Biomatcell in 2007

Skepticism – to overcome

- Can the AM material really be used, is it same as conventional Ti?

- OK, it fulfils all specs, but is it biocompatible?

- Aha, Italian companies use it, how about someone else?

- Oh, it has CE approval, howabout FDA?

- Alright, you have CE and FDA approval, how about SFDA? Japanese approval …..?

? Questions? Excuses? Evasions? Challenges

Breakthrough!

- First implant customer, Adler Ortho, in 2006

- First product on the market, Fixa Ti-Por, 2007
