3D Printing for Implants & Surgery
Enabling Personalized, High-Performance Medical Solutions With AM
High clinical demands, patient-specific anatomies, and strict regulatory requirements are shaping the development and production of implants and surgical solutions. Precision, reliability, and reproducibility are essential - while scalability and performance remain critical.
Additive manufacturing enables patient-specific implants and advanced surgical solutions.
With more than 20 years of experience in medical additive manufacturing, EOS enables reliable serial production for implants and surgical applications. Our metal and polymer technologies deliver precision, reproducibility, and regulatory-ready quality at scale. Advanced materials such as Ti64 ELI, CoCr, and PA2200 meet the highest standards for biocompatibility and enable complex geometries, lightweight structures, and functional surfaces - including osseointegration features - that cannot be achieved with conventional manufacturing.
From concept development to certified serial production, EOS supports implant and surgical solution manufacturers with validated processes, application expertise, and scalable production systems - enabling safe, efficient, and compliant manufacturing.

EOS Enables a New Step Forward
3D printed titanium implants simplify hip replacement surgery and improve patient outcomes. Advanced technology has helped make hip replacement an important option for younger patients - like Everlee.
- 3D printed surface geometry encourages fusion with bone
- Price of 3D printed implants has come down, so some hospitals now use it as standard
- Implant technology has helped make hip replacement easier and more accessible
Anatomics
Anatomics’ SpineBox™ system leverages EOS SLS 3D printing to pre-plan and personalize spinal fusion surgeries, significantly improving surgical efficiency, reducing radiation exposure and operating time, and enhancing patient outcomes.
- Improved efficiency of entire workflow from planning through recovery
- Radiation exposure reduced by 38.5 %
- Operating time reduced by 17 %
- All patients mobilized day one post-operation
