Implants, e.g. for knee joints, shall fit as exactly as possible to the patient concerned. It is of course easier to adjust a piece of metal to the knee of a specific person than vice versa.
On the other hand, the manufacture of such implants must be profitable.
WIth Image to Implant, Siemens provides the ideal solution: “Image to Implant“ is a complete solution for the automated manufacture of customer-specific implants – from the MRT/CT scan at the hospital through to the individual implant.

Different Siemens sectors cooperate in this cross-sector project:

• Siemens Healthcare provides the necessary know-how regarding the preparation of medical imaging data.
• Siemens Industry provides the necessary experience in the high-speed manufacturing of high-quality knee end prostheses with the CNC controller SINUMERIK.
• Siemens PLM is responsible for the safe management of process and production data.

Thus, we make a decisive step towards the profitable manufacture of individual, patient-optimized implants.
