Self-Expanding, Patient-Specific Metallic Glass Stents Manufactured via 3D Printing
A German University developed a novel additive manufacturing technology that enables the production of self-expanding, patient-specific stents made from amorphous high-performance metals. By combining metallic glass materials with advanced 3D printing, this innovation offers superior mechanical properties, design freedom, and improved biocompatibility compared to conventional stent technologies. The university offers a licensing agreement or joint development projects.
