The Technology Development Board (TDB) under the Department of Science & Technology (DST) has provided financial assistance to M/s Ceramat Private Limited for commercialising 3D-printed patient-specific bone grafts. The project utilizes Calcium Phosphate-based standard and customized grafts through Digital Light Processing (DLP) and extrusion-based 3D printing techniques. By employing indigenously manufactured bioceramic materials such as hydroxyapatite and beta-tricalcium phosphate, the initiative seeks to provide import substitutes for advanced medical products, reduce reliance on foreign healthcare technologies, and promote domestic manufacturing aligned with Aatmanirbhar Bharat.
