EOS, Tecomet, OIC and Precision ADM Announce Collaboration

EOS, Tecomet, Orthopedic Innovation Center (OIC) and Precision ADM, four companies in the medical device manufacturing industry, announced a collaborative partnership offering end-to-end solutions for medical device additive manufacturing (AM).

The partnership includes a range of services including front-end engineering and design services, 510k approval pathway, device and machine validation, pre-clinical testing and commercialization.

AM adoption in the medical device market is growing rapidly due to proven benefits for patients and uncertainty in global supply chains. With this new partnership, customers are provided with a complete end-to-end solution from mass manufacturing to product design and process development to testing, validation and FDA submission. The benefit for medical OEMs is that there is a significant reduction in product development lead-time, and reduced time to market and overall risk, while taking advantage of the latest manufacturing innovations.

Key to this partnership is each organization’s strengths and industry knowledge in providing a seamless, turnkey solution for medical device AM. Notably, EOS is a global technology leader in both metal and polymer AM, while Tecomet specializes in the precision manufacturing of medical devices and components. OIC provides accredited medical device testing and contract clinical research services to the orthopedic industry. Precision ADM provides comprehensive engineering and AM contract services to the medical device industry. Cohesive teams enable medical device manufacturers to compress their time-to-market.

Dr. Gregory Hess, EOS SVP of Applied Engineering, said: “Scaling AM medical device production requires a complete understanding of the process chain that goes beyond just printing and includes design, post-processing, testing, among other steps , sterilization and packaging. Our partnerships with Tecomet, OIC and Precision ADM will provide medical device manufacturers with unique additive manufacturing expertise to help them navigate the complexities of the regulatory environment while providing high-quality, reliable products.

Through its technologies such as high-productivity, multi-laser platforms such as the EOS M300-4, to supporting industry-first free solutions such as the recently launched Smart Fusion software, EOS is one of AM’s leading solutions for the medical markets. is an innovator. EOS also engineers and manufactures a comprehensive portfolio of standard and customized materials designed for medical applications.

Tecomet CEO Andreas Weller said: “The partnership with EOS, Precision ADM and the Orthopedic Innovation Center is in line with our steadfast vision of providing full spectrum, scalable manufacturing solutions to the medical device market. Combining the latest additive manufacturing technologies with our precision manufacturing expertise is a further commitment to this growing technology. With our global customers constantly looking for ways to get their products to market faster, this partnership paired with our exceptional quality systems will provide the industry with a unique and comprehensive solution.

“We are thrilled to partner with advanced manufacturing powerhouses EOS, Tecomet and Precision ADM to provide end-to-end medical device production to leading OEMs,” said Trevor Gascoyne, CEO of OIC. “Our renowned testing capabilities and clinical research services will streamline clinical implementation and commercialization efforts unlike any other partnership in the industry.”

“By partnering with EOS and Tecomet, we can offer a full suite of engineering, AM and machining solutions that will help our customers get their products to market faster,” said Martin Petrak, CEO of Precision ADM. “From material choices to forged structures, our engineering, testing and manufacturing services, combined with the expertise of EOS and Tecomet, will ensure that our customers have access to the best possible solution for their needs.”
