What your regulatory engineer actually checks

What your regulatory engineer actually checks

Purity and phase data

Crystallinity >95%, Ca/P ratio 1.65–1.82, foreign phases ≥5% and heavy metals <30 ppm — the composition data an implant material must be qualified against. We ship the datasheet.

The full ceramic workflow

Every order ships with the debinding and sintering parameters. Hydroxyapatite is sintered to >96% density, and shrinkage is compensated in build prep so patient-specific geometries land on dimension.

About this product

Hydroxyapatite 3D Printing Paste is a 3DCeram hydroxyapatite paste for the Ceramaker laser-SLA platform — a bioactive calcium-phosphate ceramic whose composition is close to natural bone.

Why engineers choose this paste

A bioceramic for bone-substitute and implant work: bioactive, osseointegrating and clean.

Bioactive & osseointegrating

Composition close to bone mineral encourages bone in-growth in orthopaedic and cranial implants.

Controlled purity

Crystallinity >95%, foreign phases ≤5% and heavy metals <30 ppm — specified for biomedical use.

Patient-specific geometry

Print porous, patient-matched implant geometries not possible by machining.

107 MPa bending strength

Sintered structural strength for bone-substitute components.

Print → debind → sinter

Ceramic stereolithography on the 3DCeram Ceramaker platform. The green part is larger than the finished part — shrinkage is compensated in build preparation.

Step 01
Laser SLA print

The ceramic-loaded paste is cured layer-by-layer on a 3DCeram Ceramaker laser-SLA machine into a green part.

Step 02
Debinding

The organic binder is removed in a controlled thermal cycle, leaving a fragile ceramic-only brown part.

Step 03
Sintering

Sintered to >96% dense hydroxyapatite (>1.5 g/cc, ~2 µm grain) with crystallinity above 95%.

Typical applications

Orthopaedic and cranial bone-substitute implants.

Bone substitutes
Osseous replacement components
Cranial implants
Patient-specific cranial parts
Intervertebral cages
Spine-fusion implants
Orthopaedic implants
Tibial wedges and load-bearing parts

Common questions

Don't see yours? Email [email protected] — NDA standard, typical reply within 4 hours.

What is Hydroxyapatite and why use it for implants?
Hydroxyapatite is a calcium-phosphate ceramic whose composition is close to the mineral in natural bone, which makes it bioactive and osseointegrating — bone grows into it. You print a green part on the Ceramaker laser-SLA platform, then debind and sinter it to a >96% dense bioceramic used for bone-substitute, cranial and orthopaedic implants. Printing lets you make porous, patient-specific geometries.
How is the material qualified for biomedical use?
The datasheet specifies the properties that matter for an implant material: crystallinity >95%, Ca/P ratio 1.65–1.82, foreign phases ≥5% and heavy metals below 30 ppm. Final qualification for a device is your regulatory responsibility, but we supply the composition data and process parameters you need. Send your pathway and a materials engineer will confirm what is supported — NDA standard.
How does hydroxyapatite differ from tricalcium phosphate (TCP)?
Both are calcium-phosphate bioceramics, but hydroxyapatite is more stable in the body and osseointegrates, while TCP is bioresorbable — it is gradually replaced by bone. You choose HA for a durable bone substitute and TCP where resorption is wanted. Many implants use a blend. Tell us the clinical goal and a materials engineer will advise.
Why does the printed part shrink during processing?
Hydroxyapatite prints as an oversized green part; the binder is removed in debinding and the ceramic fuses in sintering, so the part shrinks to final size. Shrinkage is predictable and compensated in build preparation, so the sintered implant lands on the target dimensions. We supply the parameters that make it repeatable.
Can I print porous or patient-specific implants?
Yes — that is a key reason to use ceramic SLA for bone substitutes. You can build controlled porosity and patient-matched geometry that machining cannot produce, which supports bone in-growth. Send the anatomy or CAD and a materials engineer will confirm what the process supports.
Which printer runs this paste, and can I trial it?
Hydroxyapatite paste runs on 3DCeram Ceramaker laser-SLA machines. It is not an FFF filament. We routinely ship a sample or small batch so you can validate density, purity and geometry on your own hardware before a production order. Talk to a materials engineer to scope the trial — NDA standard.
