LimaCorporate to open implant 3D printing facility at hospital in New York

Global medical device company LimaCorporate has announced that it will be opening an on-site 3D printing facility at New York City’s Hospital for Special Surgery. At the center Lima will work closely with the hospital’s leading physicians to produce patient-specific implants for a range of orthopedic conditions. Expected to be in operation by early 2020, the facility will act as a test bed for rolling out its 3D printing services to hospitals across the U.S.
Founded in 1945 in Udine, north-eastern Italy, LimaCorporate has a wealth of experience in the production of orthopedic devices. Its product catalog offers a range of implants suited to the hip, knee and shoulder. 3D printing was introduced to the company in 2007 as the patented Trabecular Titanium technology.
