Esslingen, Offenburg,19.05.2025

AM Pioneers GmbH has successfully installed the InnoventX metal binder jetting system from Desktop Metal at the Peter Osypka Institute for Medical Technology at Offenburg University of Applied Sciences. In future, the system will enable innovative research and development projects in the field of additive manufacturing for medical technology applications.

The InnoventX from Desktop Metal is the leading metal binder jetting system in research. The open material and binder system, in combination with the innovative powder application principle, the Triple ACT technology, offers comprehensive flexibility in processing a wide range of materials. It also creates an excellent basis for research along the entire value chain – from powder development to process optimization for medical applications.

Offenburg University of Applied Sciences has a particular focus on research into the metal binder jetting process in medical technology. The InnoventX open system platform will be used to research refractory metals such as titanium and molybdenum alloys and make them usable for biomedical applications.

“We are delighted to be working with Offenburg University of Applied Sciences and laying the foundations for practical research in the field of additive manufacturing,” says Frederik Nussbaumer, Head of Sales at AM Pioneers. “The combination of cutting-edge technology and application-oriented science is the key to future innovations in medical technology.”

The research work is led by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Peter Quadbeck. With his research, he aims to make an important contribution to the establishment of metal binder jetting technology in medical technology and to promote the industrial applicability of this technology.

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Peter Quadbeck: “With InnoventX, we can offer our students and researchers access to industry-relevant technology and at the same time drive forward the development of biocompatible materials and patient-specific implant solutions.”

The installation is part of a long-term cooperation between AM Pioneers and Offenburg University of Applied Sciences.
