Armadillo Additive

Medical Devices

Medical devices, from prototype to production

We are a contract manufacturer for medical device companies. ISO 13485 certified and FDA registered, we print implants and instruments in Grade 23 titanium and take them all the way through post-processing and inspection.

Certifications

ISO 13485 certified. FDA registered.

Our all-digital quality management system was built from the ground up for additive manufacturing. We earned certification and worked through the FDA process on our own, without outside consultants.

The people who run your builds are the same people who own the quality system. Nothing gets handed off to a black box.

Implants and instruments

Built in Grade 23 titanium

We build implants and surgical instruments in Grade 23 titanium (Ti-6Al-4V), the biocompatible alloy trusted across orthopedics. Spinal cages, hip stems, and knee trays are all in our wheelhouse, from first prototype to production runs.

You talk directly to the engineers preparing and running the machines. That keeps changes fast and keeps everyone on the same page.

Design for additive

Porous lattice and DfAM

Additive manufacturing lets us print porous lattice structures that encourage osseointegration, right into the body of the implant. Design for additive manufacturing means we work the geometry so it prints clean, performs well, and does not fight the process.

Lattice work is powered by nTop. If your design is not additive-ready yet, our engineers can help get it there.

Regulatory

FDA pathway support

Getting a device to market takes more than a good print. We support the regulatory side too, from 510(k) submissions to setting up a Master File so your filing can reference our validated process and materials.

We have walked the FDA road with our own systems, so we know what the documentation needs to show.
