Our services

We offer several services for industrial or institutional partners in the following fields.

 

Material/structural tests

Accredited tests based on the following standards

Accredited activity

The Biomechanical Material Testing Laboratory works based on the quality assurance system regulated by the international standard EN ISO 17025. The test activity of the Laboratory was accredited in 2007 by the Hungarian Accreditation Board.

3D printing

Geometry prototypes of any mechanical part or even implant

 We can manufacture even the most complex 3d objects with maximum size of 200x200x250 mm by our  Connex 260 three dimensional printer.

 

Individual implants and spacers

We can produce silicon molding forms based on 3D objects printed by our 3d printer. This form can be used for making individual bone substituent implants/spacers for cranioplasty or different orthopaedic operations.

Surgical planning

The model of the bone holding in your hand offers the best possibilities to plan a difficult operation. You can plan any movement and the whole process, what’s more the model can be formed, drilled as you would do it during the operation. We used this method several times in the case of hip, spine, ankle and foot problems.

 

Cadaver experiments

We offer the organisation of cadaver experiments we are involved.

 

3D scanning

We have a Cobra Fastscan handheld 3D laser scanner. Using this technology we can digitalise objects in a wide size range anywhere.
