Essentium and Vorum Exclusive Partnership Delivers Complete 3D Printing Solution for Global Orthotics & Prosthetics Market

Essentium, Inc., a leading global provider of 3D printing solutions for manufacturing industries, and Vorum, a leader in CAD/CAM processes for the global O&P market, announced an exclusive global partnership. The partnership will deliver Essentium + Vorum, a 3D print solution for Orthotics & Prosthetics (O&P) customers worldwide that offers practitioners a SurePath to success for the production of mass-customized O&P devices at speed and scale. It also provides a proven transition methodology including proof of concept mapped to individual customer business goals, design, deployment path, training, installation and support.

Until now, the absence of a reliable 3D printing platform and the lack of materials able to produce O&P devices of optimal strength and weight have been a major barrier to health organizations establishing 3D printing O&P devices. The Essentium + Vorum partnership eliminates these barriers. The partnership brings together the Essentium High-Speed Extrusion (HSE) 3D printing platform and materials with Vorum’s O&P CAD/CAM solutions and SurePath methodology. With 30 years of experience in O&P digital processes, Vorum developed SurePath to provide O&P clinicians with a proven approach for 3D printing implementation, training and support.

This program’s commitment to intentional and tailored goal-setting and tracking will help O&P practitioners make a swift and successful transition from plaster-casting methods to 3D printing in any O&P production setting. It removes the risk, complexity and economic barriers of moving from legacy O&P production to 3D production. By delivering the benefits of scale, speed, reliability and mass-customization, it will give O&P practitioners more time to focus on patient health, and patient access to the most advanced O&P devices available.
