BioDur® 108 is an FDA approved, essentially nickel and cobalt-free alternative to other stainless steel options and is currently used for medical applications such as implantable orthopedic devices, high-strength surgical instrumentation, and orthodontic devices.
Patient sensitivities to materials are on the rise, leading to material innovations targeted around these allergies while still allowing for improved performance in next generation devices.
BioDur® 108 was developed to be suitable for patients with sensitives to metal such as nickel, while being cobalt-free to address increasing regulatory scrutiny and suitable for large-scale production of exceptionally high-strength medical components via additive manufacturing.

Nickel sensitivity in the United States is estimated at 12% by the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH), and exposure to nickel ions released from the normal wear of medical implants can lead to adverse side effects. BioDur® 108 is an FDA approved, essentially nickel- and cobalt-free alternative to other stainless steel options and is currently used for medical applications such as implantable orthopedic devices, high-strength surgical instrumentation, and orthodontic devices. Typically, devices and instruments are produced via subtractive manufacturing include processes like cold-working the raw material to achieve improved mechanical strength in a finished component. In this webinar, we discuss the latest developments on BioDur® 108 additive manufacturing with a focus on powder chemistry and 3D printed components on a Laser Powder Bed Fusion machine with a showcase on preliminary results with the realization of cold work properties in an additive component.
