[🔎 BUSINESS CASE #6: Pioneer Neurotech]
To develop an innovative nerve guide, Pioneer Neurotech partnered with LATTICE SERVICES using our PDO filament.
The challenge: fabricate the outer shell of a multi-material nerve guide with a reliable, safe, and regulatory-compliant biodegradable polymer.
Kenneth Nguyen, Head Engineer at Pioneer Neurotech explains: “PDO filament is allowing us to work with consistent fabrication processes using proven biodegradable and biocompatible materials. Most importantly, fused filament fabrication (FFF) makes incorporating certain design alterations in our application feasible and fast.”
A successful collaboration around PDO:
🔹 Material selection: PDO, semi-crystalline polymer, resorbs in 4–6 months, flexible despite crystallinity
🔹 Additive manufacturing: FFF printing for precise and quickly modifiable prototypes
🔹 Design optimization: easy integration of technical design modifications
🔹 Technical validation: material tested for biocompatibility and mechanical performance
Outcome: a reliable, fast, and compliant outer shell for nerve guides, paving the way for new tissue engineering solutions.
