A team of scientists from the Institute of physics of high technologies at Tomsk Polytechnic University have developed a technology which can be used to print a variety of implants from biaspalava on the basis of titanium and niobium has a perfect sesivumelo with bone tissue human. I am particularly pleased to share with you this news, since I am a graduate of this University.
A team of researchers from Tomsk have developed a unique bioplan and built his own 3D-printer with which these alloys can be print custom implants for each patient. Such implants do not cause in the body inflammatory processes, not subject to corrosion and are characterized by high strength, which makes them an excellent tool for physicians in their hard work.
“Designed the titanium-niobium low modulus alloy, which has ideal sesivumelo with the bone, the same physical characteristics as bone. While implants are laser printed on a 3D printer, in the long term will turn on the electron beam and compare the results. We have developed the printers now bring to mind the software, improved technology, building of a mathematical model”, — reported news Agency RIA Novosti Director of the scientific-educational center “Modern production technology” at Tomsk Polytechnic University, Vasily Fedorov.
The research staff of Tomsk Polytechnic University to help scientists from the Institute of strength physics and materials science of the Siberian branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. This project has received from the Russian science Foundation support in the amount of 17 million rubles for three years. Part of the funds was spent on the creation of a lab where the scientists conduct most of their research. Next year it is planned to improve the characteristics of the existing bioplata, and by 2017 – to produce the first samples of implants for medical use.
