Together with Health Valley, LifetecZONe, and SBMC , we are organizing this informative afternoon with various speakers at Ceratec Technical Ceramics in Geldermalsen. During this visit, there will also be a tour of their workshop where we will see various medical applications of technical ceramics.

PROGRAM

14.00 Reception

14.30 Welcome by Ria Hein, Chairperson of LifetecZONe

14.40 Tim van Kampen, CTO of Ceratec

Because Ceramic materials are biocompatible, they have been used in the human body for various medical applications for decades. With the advent of new ceramic materials and manufacturing technologies, the applications are expanding, such as bone replacement and instruments used during surgery (CT-scan compatible). Ceramics can also be printed for patient-specific designs. Tim will present examples of what is technically possible now for use in the human body, what is forthcoming in the near future, and what is already being used in the rest of the world.

15.00 Paul Peters, Manager of Development and Engineering at LouwersHanique

Paul will discuss optical 3D glass components for the miniaturization of components for medical applications.
