Abstract
A goal in clinical practice is the total adaptation and personalization of medical devices to the special needs of the patient. Customization will be the best way to satisfy higher levels of quality, functionality, safety and biocompatibility during surgical treatment. Additive manufacturing technologies become the best alternative to produce customized medical devices. The FABIO project was proposed to develop new biomaterials and to adapt additive manufacturing technologies to obtain a new generation of customized medical devices. Four customized prototypes were designed, additively manufactured and validated within the project. Results have enabled the marketing of customized medical devices with high added value, great competitiveness and good levels of quality, functionality, safety and biocompatibility, in order to increase the satisfaction of the patient.
