What happens to the residual material having been in contact with an AM process after it has been used? Should it be disposed of or analyzed, to see if it is suitable for a new process with regard to medical devices?

On 23 March 2023 in the time from 2:00 – 5:00 pm we want to have a look at this in the context of our MGA Medical Materials working group and launch the focus group “Analyses & Processing”. Therefore, we would like to invite everyone to an on-site meeting at the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) in Berlin.

The first goal of this group will be the analysis of re-used materials (independent of polymeric, metallic, or ceramic origin). For this purpose, we want to jointly establish a method panel to obtain results on the suitability of these powders, especially for medical (and other) products. The team leader of this group will be Edson Costa Santos from ZEISS.

For our first Working Group meeting we are looking forward to a keynote by Amelie Victoria Banhart, Senior Project Manager at DIN – Standardization entitled “Current Standards and Projects in AM and how to participate”.

We would be delighted if you would like to support us with your expertise. We are looking forward to a lively participation!
