Amed

What Amed does

Amed Srl (Advanced Medical Engineering Devices) is a Palermo-based Italian medical device startup founded in 2018 as an academic spin-off of the University of Palermo. The company designs and manufactures custom patient-specific implants using additive manufacturing — including Selective Laser Melting (SLM), Stereolithography (SLA), and Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) — to produce devices with precise anatomical fit. Its core product portfolio comprises MyTiCranium (custom Ti6Al4V cranial plates with Voronoi cell trabeculation for reduced weight and improved osseointegration), MyTiFace (maxillofacial implants and cutting guides), ANEURIS (a patented patient-specific cardiovascular stent-graft for abdominal aortic aneurysm), and I-KNEE (custom knee prostheses). The company also runs Rapid Prototyping and 3D Metrology services using a ZEISS ScanCobot station, and operates R&D projects PROTESI-CAM (MISE-funded) and PLATFORM (sensor-integrated tibial osteotomy solution).

Amed generates revenue through one-time sales of custom medical implants and related surgical cutting guides to hospitals and surgeons, complemented by professional services revenue from rapid prototyping and 3D printing/metrology work for external clients. The go-to-market is sales-led and clinical-relationship-driven: surgeons provide DICOM imaging, Amed produces a 3D model, and only after surgeon approval is the implant manufactured. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company is part of the RAINSHOW INDUSTRIES group (parent), which acquired BEAMIT in 2026 to build an additive manufacturing ecosystem. Amed's served market is primarily Italian healthcare providers, with growing international visibility through trade shows (FORMNEXT, MECSPE, RM Forum) and academic/industry partnerships with the University of Palermo, EIT Health, Prima Industrie, and the SAMOTHRACE research consortium.

Direct peers

• Renishaw: Renishaw's healthcare division manufactures patient-specific 3D-printed titanium cranial and CMF implants. It competes head-on with Amed's MyTiCranium and MyTiFace products.
• 4WEB Medical: 4WEB Medical produces 3D-printed orthopedic implants including spinal and extremity devices using its proprietary truss technology. It competes in the same custom/additive orthopedic implant category as Amed.
• Materialise: Materialise operates a regulated medical 3D printing business offering patient-specific surgical guides, implants, and anatomical models. It is the most established direct competitor in the patient-specific medical AM segment that Amed targets.
• Conformis: Conformis specializes in patient-specific knee replacement systems manufactured via 3D printing and custom instrumentation, directly comparable to Amed's I-KNEE custom knee prostheses.
• Oxford Performance Materials: OPM produces 3D-printed PEKK cranial and facial implants, offering a direct alternative to Amed's MyTiCranium and MyTiFace product lines in the custom cranial/CMF space.
• Lima Corporate: Lima Corporate (now owned by Enovis) produces 3D-printed orthopedic implants including custom acetabular cups and shoulder solutions. Its Trabecular Titanium technology overlaps with Amed's AM joint reconstruction approach (I-KNEE).

Broad incumbents

• Stryker: Stryker is a global orthopedic and cranial reconstruction incumbent with a broad implant portfolio. It competes in Amed's orthopedic and neuro/CNS spaces as an established player with extensive surgeon relationships.
• Medtronic: Medtronic's aortic business (Endurant) leads the AAA endovascular stent-graft market that Amed's ANEURIS targets. As a broad incumbent, Medtronic sets the clinical evidence and reimbursement bar Amed must clear.
• 3D Systems (Healthcare): 3D Systems operates a healthcare AM business producing patient-specific surgical guides, anatomical models, and dental/orthopedic devices. It is a broad incumbent with overlapping capabilities across multiple of Amed's indications.

Regional players

• Adler Ortho: Adler Ortho is an Italian orthopedic implant manufacturer offering 3D-printed solutions. It shares Amed's Italian domicile and competes in similar orthopedic indications, though it focuses on standard and custom hip/knee products.
