Abstract: The instant invention describes a three-dimensional ceramic printer and methods for printing products from ceramic precursors or powders. The printer comprises a printer body attached to a printing chamber, a printing plate having a printing movement axis and a printing drive, a first feed chamber and a second feed chamber positioned on the opposing sides of the printing chamber. The printer further comprises a guide rail positioned above the chambers, and a print head movably attached to the guide rail. The guide rail further comprises a printing axis having a mounting frame, a printhead, a shaft and belt units. The shaft is attached to the printing axis at one of the sides of the print head. The first and second feed chambers may each contain a volume of print media, and the shafts may alternatingly deposit a volume of print media from each feed chamber onto the printing chamber.

Abstract: The present invention relates to ceramic bioresorbable bone implants made from a material based on a glass-ceramic and/or polysaccharide and/or a calcium-based mineral. The proposed composition is suitable for 3D printing. The bone implants are used in traumatology and orthopedics for treatment of bone diseases. The proposed composition of the implant provides osteoinductive and osteoconductive activity at the site of transplantation, with the subsequent replacement of the implant with native bone tissue.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to bio-resorbable bone implants made from a material composition made from a polymer and calcium-based minerals. The proposed composition is suitable for 30 printing. The bone implant of the present invention was created using a 30 extrusion-based printing technology. The method of making the implant and the composition of the inventive implant were optimized to enable improved osteoconductive activity at the transplantation site. The novel composition and process enables the replacement of the implant with native bone tissue, which is expected during the treatment process.
