[LimaCorporate] 3D printing helps pioneer cementless knee replacements.

Italian medical device company LimaCorporate has been 3D printing orthopedic implants based on its revolutionary Trabecular Titanium cellular solid since 2007. More than 150,000 hip replacements have been performed using its acetabular cup. However, when the company took on the challenge of developing a new knee implant, it needed a more powerful solution—not only to optimize the design against multiple complex forces, but also to efficiently iterate with lattice-based models. See how Siemens NX and Teamcenter helped LimaCorporate reduce development time by 50%, unify its workflow under one system—and deliver a knee prosthetic that is proving successful with patients worldwide.
