For our AM Focus Medical this month we continue to zoom in on the many possibilities that additive manufacturing is offering today to medical companies. We are now taking a closer look at Lima Corporate additive manufacturing activities.

 .

Lima is one of the originators of additive manufacturing in the orthopedic industry, and one of the earliest customers of Arcam’s EBM powder bed fusion technology. Lima is headquartered in Italy, with two major production facilities, and has been expanding internationally.

 .

Since 2000, Lima has specifically focused on the orthopedics market, and currently markets a variety of metal-based devices for joint replacement in the hip, knee, and shoulder primarily. It also offers Promade services for patient-specific implants made via additive manufacturing. Lima’s use of additive manufacturing began in the acetabular hip cup segment and has since expanded to include knee and shoulder replacements.
