Rapid bone implants
Stratasys announced Design Dynamics International, Inc. has selected an Arcam electron beam melting (EBM) system for both prototyping and direct digital manufacturing. The company will produce metal parts for applications in the aerospace, automotive and marine equipment industries.
Stratasys is the exclusive North American distributor for Arcam EBM systems, which manufacture fully dense parts from metal alloy powders.

"The high durability, strength-to-weight ratios, biocompatibility and superior corrosion resistance make Arcam EBM metal parts ideal for any manufacturer interested in quickly creating end-products or components," said Robert W. Christensen,  founder and chief executive officer of Design Dynamics.

In addition to metal part manufacturing through Design Dynamics, he will review potential applications of Arcam EBM technology for his second company, TMJ Implants, Inc., a leader in the TMJ (temporomandibular joint) reconstructive surgery implant field.
