The additively manufactured hand, which the Fraunhofer Institute for Additive Production Technologies (IAPT) will showcase, represents on the one hand the "FingerKIt" project, which for the first time makes it possible to manufacture movable finger joint implants. On the other hand, it marks the general Fraunhofer philosophy of practice-oriented research. Current examples from the field of additive manufacturing will then be presented by the researchers at the "AM Science by Fraunhofer" forum on May 16 at the Rapid.Tech-3D specialist congress, as well as on all days of the event, as it was further stated.

Completely automated 3D printing for movable finger implants

As part of the aforementioned project, five Fraunhofer Institutes collaborated to enable for the first time a fully automatable process chain for the production of individual and movable finger joint implants. The development ranged from design and manufacturing to certification-compliant testing. Dr. Philipp Imgrund from Fraunhofer IAPT will report on this at the forum. The lecture aims to show what the Fraunhofer Competence Field of Additive Manufacturing is all about. As it was further stated, there, the AM chain is viewed as a whole, and application-oriented research supports the most successful industrialization possible. The Hamburg-Bergedorf team focuses on innovations in software and simulation, materials, technologies, as well as post-processing and quality assurance. These ambitions are also reflected in the agenda of this year's forum.
