Summary:
The main objective of BIOTIP project is to develop the appropriate Metal Injection Moulding (MIM) technology for Titanium processing, employing a novel atomized Ti powder of perfect sphericity for manufacturing high quality biomedical implant devices meeting the stringent standards imposed for this kind of materials in a cost-effective way. The research in this project will focus on the optimization of a breakthrough plasma atomization process for the cost effective production of a high-quality Ti powder and the optimization of the process for the production of high quality Ti components using the MIM technology.
