OIC, Medi Mold & AddUp partner to launch orthopaedic implant facility in India
A group of companies, including OIC International, USA; Medi Mold, India; and AddUp, France, have partnered to establish a new orthopaedic implant manufacturing facility in India. Using Additive Manufacturing and precision engineering practices, the facility will be located within the Andhra Pradesh Medtech Zone (AMTZ) medical device manufacturing park in Visakhapatnam.
OIC plans to launch a line of additively manufactured implants for both domestic and global use. Operated by Medi Mold, the implants will be mass-produced on a metal Laser Beam Powder Bed Fusion (PBF-LB) Additive Manufacturing machine from AddUp’s FormUp range.
Through the arrangement, the partners aim to address three fundamental challenges in orthopaedics: technology-led innovation, affordability and market access. The new facility will offer an integrated manufacturing platform for low-cost implants for public sector procurement, supporting government hospitals and healthcare schemes. Meanwhile, OIC will be able to support India’s fast-growing private healthcare market.
