B9Creations and medical 3D printing

Earlier this year, B9Creations partnered with SDC Technologies, California-based coating specialists, to open a $500,000 additive manufacturing materials development lab. This lab is located at B9Creations’ Rapid City headquarters. Now, the Healthcare Division & Service Bureau will further facilitate a diverse portfolio of medical applications.

The company’s 3D printers have been used for dental and medical models. This includes surgical tools and instrumentation, training models, customized lab and manufacturing tools, jigs as well as fixtures for enhanced productivity. 

It states that its technology serves nearly 70 countries worldwide, with brands from Proctor & Gamble, 3M, B. Braun Medical Inc., Kulzer, and the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
