TELFORD, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Secant Medical has developed a new 3-D textile engineering technology by integrating traditional textile engineering with advanced biomaterials. While 3-D printing or additive manufacturing has gained considerable attention as a novel method to create 3-D biomedical forms, 3-D printing does not always offer the dimensional stability, material selection and engineering properties desired. The 3-D textile technology leverages Secant Medical’s long history in developing medical textiles for use in implantable medical applications. Once programmed the 3-D textile set-up can produce high-quality, mass-engineered structures with a high degree of repeatability.
