3D Medical

What 3D Medical does

3D Medical is a France-based, ISO 13485:2016-certified contract manufacturer of titanium medical implants using Selective Laser Melting (SLM) additive manufacturing. Operating from a 650 m² facility in Marolles-en-Brie under the NUTTENS Group holding structure (alongside sister company 3D PRINT), the company runs five qualified SLM machines on Ti6Al4V ELI Grade 23 powder, complemented by CNC diamond machining, Hot Isostatic Pressing, polishing, laser marking, and ISO Class 8 / ISO Class 5 laminar-flow cleanroom finishing. Its product portfolio spans serial-production spinal cages, screws, hip and surgical instruments, and biometric sensors, plus custom-made permanent implants for human orthopedics (knee, hip, finger, vertebral body, skull/mandibular) and veterinary applications — most notably equine cervical plating referenced by GE-Additive coverage.

The company's go-to-market is direct enterprise engagement with medical-device OEMs, surgeons, hospitals, and veterinary clinics; pricing is quote-based, never publicly disclosed, and revenue is recognized on a one-time manufacturing basis per bespoke implant or batch. Founded as a 3D PRINT spinoff in 2015 by Vincent Nuttens, with Mathieu Tong-Chai appointed Director in 2017, 3D Medical has progressively accumulated the certifications (ISO 13485 2018; ISO 9001 2020) and post-processing capabilities (HIP, metrology including KEYENCE optical and X-ray tomography) required to position itself as a designer-manufacturer rather than a pure sub-contract shop, completing its first own custom-made human implant surgery in 2020. Customer logos include SPINEART, BIOSERENITY, NOVETECH SURGERY, KERIMEDICAL, OSTEOGEN, AM SURGICAL and BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING — all medical-device OEMs — alongside the recently launched 3D HORSE vertical serving veterinary clinics.

Revenue, funding history, and forward financial targets are not disclosed; disclosed production scale is 25,000+ medical-device pieces in 2019 across 5 machines, and headcount is approximately 15. Geographic footprint is explicitly Europe/France-only with no claimed global operations.

Recent moves9 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Stryker: Major public orthopedic OEM whose spine and orthopedics divisions sell 3D-printed titanium spinal cages (Tritanium) and other AM implants. Comparable end markets (spine, hip, extremities) but at vastly larger scale as a broad incumbent, not a niche specialist.
• Zimmer Biomet: Global orthopedic OEM with multiple 3D-printed product lines including Trabecular Titanium hip and knee components. Operates in the same hip, knee, and trauma implant segments but as a much larger diversified incumbent with established surgeon relationships.

Direct peers

• Bodycad: Patient-specific orthopedic implant developer with a focus on custom knee and hip restorations created via 3D printing. Comparable niche focus on custom-made implants for orthopedic surgeons, similar to 3D Medical's human implant line.
• Renishaw: UK-based metal AM system maker with a Healthcare division producing patient-specific cranial and CMF implants via SLM titanium. Comparable additive-manufacturing technology platform in medical implants and similar regulatory positioning.
• 4WEB Medical: US-based manufacturer of 3D-printed spinal implants built around proprietary lattice/trabecular structures for osseointegration. Directly comparable technology approach to 3D Medical's porous-structure implants and operates in the same spinal and orthopedic customer segments.
• Restor3d: Orthopedic device company combining patient-specific 3D-printed implants across spine, hip, and extremities following its acquisition of ConforMIS. Comparable because its core business is patient-specific 3D-printed orthopedic implants in overlapping indications.
• LimaCorporate (Corin Group): Italian/European orthopedic specialist with a well-known 3D-printed hip cup portfolio (Delta TT, DeltaOne) made via titanium SLM. Most directly comparable because it sells custom and serial 3D-printed titanium implants to surgeons in overlapping indications (hip, shoulder, knee).
• Materialise: Public Belgian company operating a medical device 3D printing services business producing personalized implants and surgical guides for OEM partners. Directly comparable contract-manufacturing model with a focus on patient-specific titanium implants and FDA/CE-cleared workflows.
• Adler Ortho: Italian producer of 3D-printed hip stems and acetabular cups produced on EOS SLM systems. Closely comparable European-based contract-style manufacturer focused on 3D-printed titanium orthopedic implants for OEM customers.

Others

• EOS GmbH: German supplier of industrial metal SLM systems widely used across the medical implant industry, including by additive-manufacturing service bureaus like 3D Medical. Included as the underlying technology provider — not a direct customer competitor — and an important ecosystem partner.
