This project brings together a consortium of complementary academic and commercial organisations, including: specialists in ultra-fast lasers, materials and orthopaedic implants. The aim is to develop new technology to allow surgeons to customise joint replacements at the time of surgery on the rare occasions when there is significant bone loss either from a failed implant that needs to be revised or from bone cancer. The technology will involve hand held lasers and new orthopaedic biomaterials tuned to be laser melted without raising the temperature of the surrounding bone. The technology developed during this project has the potential to transform treatment of these complex cases and has application in other fields requiring rapid maufacturing without raising temperatures.

该项目汇集了一个互补的学术和商业组织联盟，包括：超高速激光，材料和矫形植入物的专家。其目的是开发新技术，允许外科医生在手术时定制关节置换，在罕见的情况下，当有严重的骨质流失，无论是失败的植入物，需要修改或骨癌。这项技术将涉及手持激光器和新型整形外科生物材料，这些材料经过激光熔化后，不会提高周围骨骼的温度。在该项目中开发的技术有可能改变这些复杂情况的治疗方法，并可应用于其他需要快速制造而不需要升温的领域。
