Today, we are focusing on printing a dome for the MATTISSE prosthesis, the resorbable breast implant developed by LATTICE MEDICAL for reconstruction after breast cancer and mastectomy.
For this demonstration, we have created a presentation version in PETG, which is perfect for our trade shows thanks to its strength and stability.
Printed in 4 hours on our Bambu Lab H2D 3D printer, this piece showcases all the performance characteristics of the material.
Why choose our PETG?
For our trade shows and technical presentations, we made a version of this dome out of PETG. This material guarantees excellent stability, a clean finish, and mechanical properties that are well suited to frequent handling. Its transparency and strength make it the perfect choice for showing off the internal geometry of our devices.
Features of 3D printing
The part was printed in 4 hours on our Bambu Lab H2D printer, renowned for its precision and speed.
This timelapse highlights:
- the regularity of the layers,
- the quality of the PETG finish,
- the internal architecture of the MATTISSE dome,
- the reproducibility of our printing processes.
Properties of PETG
PETG is a versatile material that stands out for its:
- high thermal resistance, useful for controlled environments.
- very low deformation, ensuring parts remain faithful to the design.
- excellent mechanical resistance, essential for prototypes that are handled.
- very good impact resistance, ideal for transport and demonstrations.
Our tips for use
We recommend using PETG for:
- non-implantable technical parts,
- lightweight and robust tools,
- testing, training or demonstration devices,
- components subject to moderate thermal stresses.
