BRIDGING THE DIVIDE BETWEEN 3D PRINTING AND MILLING
As medical manufacturing evolves from standard mass production to patient-specific implants and complex trabecular lattice structures, the traditional boundary between Additive Manufacturing (AM) and high-precision CNC machining (HMC/VMC) is rapidly dissolving. Yet, seamlessly blending 3D printing with metal-cutting processes presents a formidable mix of technical, digital, and regulatory hurdles.
