We are pleased to announce that in December 2024, the MagImp project—in collaboration with Königsee Implantate, the Chair of Materials Test Engineering (WPT) at TU Dortmund, and with the support of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK)— achieved a breakthrough in the…
Magnesium 3D Printing Successfully Revolutionized
On November 27th, we celebrated the successful conclusion of the CAMM (Ceramic Additive Manufactured Magnesium) project with our partners at the Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V. (LZH). After 2.5 years of intensive collaboration, we achieved groundbreaking results, including a…
Redefining Bone Regeneration
At the second network meeting of the ZIM innovation network Reg4Bone, hosted by EurA AG, we collaborated with leading industry partners, researchers, and clinics from Germany and the Netherlands to advance groundbreaking solutions for bone regeneration in cases of large bone defects.
ELB at Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V. (LZH)
Last week, we were able to visit our partner, the Laser Zentrum Hannover (LZH), with whom we are working together in the project “Ceramic Additive Manufactured Magnesium: CAMM”
Magnesium Medical Implants for Orthopedic Application: MagImp
Bioresorbable implants – research project on magnesium medical implants for bone healing.
Ceramic Additive Manufactured Magnesium: CAMM
Magnesium is one of the lightest metals with a density 30% lower than aluminum. Magnesium and its alloys are used as a lightweight material to reduce energy consumption in moving parts.
Project: Laser Func Light
The piston group, consisting of the piston, piston rings and cylinder liner, accounts for 48% of the friction losses in a gasoline engine. By optimizing friction and wear within the …
