3D Systems and UNYQ Team Up for 3D Printed Prosthetics

UNYQ, manufacturer of affordable personalized prosthetic fashion, and 3D Systems announced their collaboration to bring 3D printing technologies to the prosthetics and orthotics industries and to democratize patient access to stylish, life enhancing devices.

The collaboration combines UNYQ’s knowledge in cost-effective production and go-to-market approach with 3D Systems’ vast portfolio of prosthetic and orthotic devices and advanced manufacturing expertise. The partnership also involves a significant exchange of intellectual property. Under the agreement, UNYQ becomes a preferred partner for commercializing 3D Systems’ personalized prosthetic fairings, braces and casts.

AVi REichtal, CEO of 3D Systems: “We are thrilled to join forces with UNYQ. Together, our two companies are making these life-changing medical solutions more advanced, more impactful and more accessible for everyone with prosthetic and orthotics needs. We are excited to work with a company that has built such a strong community of patients and providers across the globe.”

3D Systems greatly expanded its expertise in prosthetic, orthotic and orthopedic solutions through the acquisition of Bespoke Innovations in 2012. Through this agreement, UNYQ will bring to market many of Bespoke’s original designs, as well as, new product developments including 3D Systems’ personalized scoliosis braces.

“As an amputee and engineer myself, I can say this market is ripe for disruption,” said Manuel Boza, Chief Creative Officer and cofounder of UNYQ. “Teaming up with 3D Systems fast tracks our vision to bring choice, style and personalization to the hundreds of millions of people who rely on these devices for a better quality of life.”
