3D Medical accreditation milestone

  • ISO accreditation milestone

ISO ACCREDITATION MILESTONE

3D Medical Limited (ASX: 3DM ) ( 3DM or the Company ) is pleased to announce it has successfully completed the first stage audit of the Company’s comprehensive quality management system.

The audit reviewed the conformance of the Company’s planned workflow processes against the International Organization for Standardization ( ISO ) standards ISO 13485 Medical devices - Quality management systems - Requirements for regulatory purposes and ISO 9001 Quality management systems - Requirements .

The second stage audit will examine the implementation of the Company’s quality management system and assess the conformity against certification requirements. The second stage audit is scheduled to take place in December 2015 at the Company’s Port Melbourne facility.

ISO accreditation is a necessary precursor for the Company’s ambition to be successful in building commercial scale as a trusted supply chain partner in delivering custom made and mass customised medical devices to the global healthcare sector.

Information technology research company Gartner Inc. has analysed the technological trends in medical 3D printing and identified that certain specialist applications of 3D printing that allow for personalisation of design (such as hearing aids and dental devices) are viable and have already become the norm in medical care.

Gartner predicts that 3D-printed orthopaedic devices (such as those used in the USD$15 billion market for hip and knee replacements), as well as other common internal and external medical devices, will be in mainstream use within two to five years.[1]

COMMISSIONING OF NEW SLM METAL PRINTER

3DM is also pleased to confirm that installation and vendor commissioning of its new Selective Laser Melting ( SLM ) printer is now complete. The SLM printer provides the Company with medium to high volume metal part production with a build envelope of approximately 27 cubic litres.

The SLM printer has initially been configured to print in Grade 5 titanium alloy suitable for the prototyping and production of custom patient-specific implants (e.g. orthopaedic devices, jaw, etc.), standard size medical implants, medical instruments and other medical consumables.
