North Carolina Patent of the Month – April 2025
Restor3d has been granted U.S. Patent No. 12,265,373 for “Patient-specific medical devices and additive manufacturing processes for producing the same”, a major milestone in the development of custom orthopedic implants. This innovation enables faster production of implants tailored to each patient’s anatomy, with the goal of improving surgical outcomes and recovery.
Personalized Fit for Better Healing
The patented method uses detailed patient imaging to create implants that conform precisely to the individual’s bone structure. It combines non-rigid shape modeling with additive manufacturing, allowing surgeons to receive custom devices that integrate more naturally with the body. Unlike off-the-shelf implants, these designs can reduce the risk of complications and revision surgeries.
A Step Forward in Orthopedic R&D
This new technology reflects a broader shift in medicine toward patient-specific treatments. By leveraging 3D printing and advanced design algorithms, Restor3d is working to make orthopedic procedures more precise and effective. Hospitals and surgical centers may soon benefit from more reliable, personalized devices for joint replacements and spinal repair.
Looking Ahead
With this patent, Restor3d strengthens its leadership in digital health manufacturing. The company’s work highlights the real-world impact of innovation at the intersection of engineering and medicine.
