It is reported that GE Additive has signed a cooperation agreement with Michigan medical technology company Stryker to support and help accelerate the latter's adoption of additive manufacturing. The new partnership was announced at GE's recent Minds + Machines event in Berlin, Germany. Minds + Machines is an industrial Internet campaign focused on the results of the software, innovation and digital industries.
As part of the agreement, Stryker's global supply chain business will benefit from new 3D printing systems, materials and services. Of course, this is not the first time Stryker has been exposed to 3D printing. Back in 2001, the medical device manufacturer began investing in 3D printing technology and has been a supporter of AM since then.
For example, Stryker invested in Concept Laser and Arcam 3D printing systems and worked with universities in Ireland and the United Kingdom to advance industrial 3D printing in medical applications. Stryker even launched an additive manufacturing center as part of its global technology development center in Ireland.
Last year, Stryker announced that its 3D printed Tritanium PL posterior lumbar disc implant (see image below) received FDA approval. Tritanium is a titanium-based material designed for skeletal ingrowth and biofixation in the spine.
GE Additive is GE's Additive Manufacturing Division established in 2016 and is GE's global provider of 3D printing systems, materials and services. Last year, it entered into a partnership with Mubadala and the Dubai Future Foundation to build the first 3D printing micro-factories in the UAE. It also announced plans to establish a new customer experience center in Pittsburgh. As part of its additive education program, GE Additive has sent more than 400 3D printers to schools.
