TheQuébec Industrial Research Centre(CRIQ), has installedaGE添加剂弧Electron Beam Melting (EBM）Q10 Plus机器在加速发展的patient-specific lower jawbone implants.
作为其与University Hospital of Quebec(CRIQ CRIQ正在与Chu的Cranio-Maxillfacial外科医生合作应用添加剂技术来将设计转换为这种植入物的制造过程。
“医疗设备行业是添加剂制造业的先驱行业之一，” Stephan Zeidler说，业务发展，经理医疗，雷电竞充值GE Additive。
“[It] enables companies to manufacture patient-specific implants and customized devices in small batch production, but still in a cost-effective, industrial process. This way, the technology perfectly serves the trend for more individualized treatments in healthcare.”

2016年,CRIQ进入医疗合作with CHU – which included five hospitals in its province – to improve medical technologies for better patient care. During this year,criqalso partnered with加拿大制造商和出口商（CME）利用加拿大的增材制造的使用。雷电竞充值
The following year, CRIQ and the CHU network launched a project to open魁北克市的287.4万美元（美元）医疗3D印刷中心。该设施将集成到该地区的所有医院，以提供3D印刷服务定制假体以及在再生医学领域的研究。
As a result of its ongoing work with cranio-maxillofacial surgeons, led by François Gingras, Director of Industrial Equipment at CRIQ, the institutions intend to improve the entire design and process cycle as well as validation and medical certification for patient-specific lower jawbone implants. Specifically, the teams are aiming to provide a three-week turnaround of patient-specific implants, rather than the current six weeks required when using traditional manufacturing.
3D printed, patient-specific lower jawbone implants
criqand CHU are tackling the entire supply chain which covers design and CAD of implants, fabrication of the implant, post-processing, cleaning, and sterilization. According to CRIQ, this strategy will define and influence pre-processing, design, testing, and fabrication systems and ensure consistency and repeatability.
Gingras explains thatthis approach challenges the perception that patient-specific implants are too expensive and not a good business case for additive manufacturing. “CRIQ sees the business case for patient-specific implants at a system level as they cannot be measured on an implant by implant basis.”
“业务案例不是部分比较；需要通过全系统影响来证明它是合理的。如果特定于患者的植入物可以加速患者康复，降低风险并降低魁北克政府的总体医疗保健成本，那么我们就有一个商业案例。” Gingras补充说。
criqis expected to enter full production of its 3D printed implants by January 2020 upon completion of the process of medical certification of additively manufactured mandibles by加拿大卫生部。
