About AMT MEDICAL

Our Technology

AMT Medical has developed its proprietary 3D Multi-axial Printing (3D-MAP) technology as the platform for the development and manufacturing of bioresorbable stents. A total of over 40 US, EU and CN patents have been granted for this technology and related products, including the patents "METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR FABRICATING POROUS THREE-DIMENSIONAL TUBULAR SCAFFOLDS" (US 11305501B2 and ZL2010800025691) and "METHOD AND APPLICATION OF FORMING BIODEGRADABLE POLYMERIC STENTS"(ZL2014100863190).

At present, most vascular stents are prepared by laser cutting technology that first requires the preparation of thin-walled tubes to be laser-cut to produce stents with specific structures. As an alternative, the 3D-MAP technology developed by AMT Medical is based on an additive manufacturing commonly know as 3D Printing in which an in-house custom made 3D-MAP equipment extrudes a thin polymer fiber onto a rotating mandrel (the 4th axis) to form a vascular stent. It is truly an innovative biomedical application for the additive manufacturing field.
