Training Focused on Quality of PEEK Processing at biodrook
The biodrook team has completed an important stage on the path to implementing innovative technologies in the field of medical manufacturing — a specialized training course on configuring and maintaining a 3D printer designed for the production of non-resorbable polymer implants made from polyetheretherketone (PEEK).
PEEK is a high-tech biocompatible material that is actively used in reconstructive surgery of the face, skull, and also in neurosurgery. Thanks to its unique properties — in particular, its mechanical characteristics that closely resemble bone tissue — it enables the creation of individualized solutions for complex clinical cases.
The processing of PEEK requires extremely high temperatures and strict adherence to technological parameters. All stages — from equipment setup to product manufacturing — are recorded in production protocols to ensure maximum precision, reproducibility, and minimized manufacturing risks.
The training was conducted by Dr. Lukas Umfer (Graz, Austria), a leading expert with many years of experience in manufacturing implants for cranial reconstruction. His work is based on the Point-of-Care approach — producing customized implants directly within a medical facility, which significantly reduces the time between surgical planning and execution.
For biodrook, this training marked a key step in developing internal expertise and improving the quality of production processes in accordance with the modern requirements of medicine.
