---Technical Introduction---
Our team uses the core technology "Light Curing and Negative Temperature Sensitive Hydrogel and Bioceramic Patented Ceramic Slurry System, combined with 3D Printing Technology" to develop novel bionic bone implants. This patented ceramic slurry system can be used for the 3D printer of digital light projection or process (DLP), DLP uses a light source to transfer the overall image to the surface of the photopolymerizable paste through patterning. The advantages of DLP technology have attracted considerable attention in the 3D printing industry. The team has developed a high-precision technology to manufacture 3D bioceramics with exquisiteness, complexity, and high compressive strength. In the high-temperature sintering process, the negative temperature-sensitive hydrogel poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide)) in the three-dimensional green body is uniformly shrunk and drained to promote sintering and densification to increase the compressive strength.

We are working to make bone replacements more accurate, effective, and safe. Our product allows clinicians to provide bone scaffolding that precisely matches patient needs and simplifies workflows, thereby improving patient outcomes and procedural efficiency. For patients this offers a lower risk of adverse side effects and optimal performance resulting in faster recovery.
The major technical features of our method are listed below:
1. Better mechanical properties
2. Promote osteointegration efficiency
3. Well biocompatibility
4. Standardized and customized
5. Similar to clinical commercial material
