Porous Stainless Structures & Graded Foam for Medical Devices
Porous stainless structures and graded-stiffness foams for device development.

Why printed foam
Porous 316L stainless structures give device teams controlled pore size for tissue in-growth studies, filters and instrument components. Graded elastomer foams support orthotics and patient-contact surfaces with stiffness mapped to load.
We support development and research builds and can share full build data with your quality team.

Materials
Recommended materials
Custom metal foam
Open-cell copper, bronze and stainless steel foam with the pore size, density and outer shape you specify. Printed, debound and sintered to a full metallurgical bond.
Specs and gradesPolymer foam
Elastomeric and rigid polymer foams where stiffness changes across the part: soft where it touches, stiff where it carries load.
