Crafting Complex Ceramic Implants With FCP Technology

Fast Ceramics Production (FCP) is a proprietary three-dimensional stereo lithography technology that is applied to ceramics to create patient-specific or volume production ceramic bone substitutes and implants. The process, developed by 3DCeram (Colorado Springs, CO), brings together materials and PhD-level process experts’ skills for the rapid and volume manufacturing of, for example, ceramic tibial osteotomy wedges, intervertebral cages (see Fig. 1), and cranial or jawbone implants.
