We uphold the highest standards in quality control, ensuring the durability and bio-compatibility of our products. | Koln 3D has been working closely with universities and institutes to advance our technology, extending clinical application to areas beyond orthopaedics. Also, we are a registered medical device supplier of the Hong Kong Hospital Authority. | Description | As the first medical metal 3D printing manufacturer in Hong Kong, we are committed to providing customised one-stop medical solutions to patients and healthcare professionals, integrating the expertise of doctors and bioengineers || Our Beliefs | We strive to restore, regenerate and rejuvenate, for the benefit of the body, mind and spirit. | Product | Our 3D-printed products – including surgical implants, jigs, tools, and models – are designed and made based on the data of patients from CT scans, resulting in personalised, high-precision, lightweight and durable products. | Patients are able to retain a high-level of mobility from bone tumour therapies facilitated by our orthopaedic implants and jigs, while a significant reduction in surgical time is observed. | For production, Koln 3D’s Trio-robotic medical machining system provides flexible, bio-safe and eco-friendly post-processing for manufacturing medical products. Three synchronised robotic arms with interchangeable stations offer seamless one-stop production, reducing production time to meet surgical schedules.

Strategic Analysis

Executive Brief

Koln 3D Technology is a pioneer in patient-specific metal 3D-printed medical implants and surgical instruments. They leverage CAD/CAM workflows and robotic post-processing to create customized orthopedic solutions (e.g., for bone tumors and joint reconstruction). Their technical focus lies in biocompatibility, structural integrity, and high-precision manufacturing of complex geometries using medical-grade alloys.

Strategic Fit & Lead Score

Lead Score: 74/100 (Strong Potential)

Why this Score? While Koln 3D currently focuses on metal additives (Titanium/Cobalt-Chrome), they face two major engineering bottlenecks where 6C’s Diamond technology is the global "gold standard":

  1. Tribology & Wear: Metal-on-metal or metal-on-polyethylene friction in implants leads to "osteolysis" (bone loss) due to wear debris. Diamond coatings are the ultimate solution for zero-wear joints.
  2. Tooling Life: Machining 3D-printed titanium is notoriously difficult. Their "Trio-robotic" machining system likely suffers from rapid tool wear, which 6C's diamond-coated tooling can resolve.

6C Solutions Proposal

Application Area 6C Solution Technical Value Prop
Implant Longevity MPCVD Diamond Coating Direct growth of PCD on titanium implants to provide a chemically inert, ultra-low friction surface (CoF < 0.1), virtually eliminating metal ion release and wear debris.
Robotic Post-Processing Diamond-Coated End Mills Supply of CVD diamond-coated cutting tools for their Trio-robotic system. Increases tool life by 10x-20x when machining abrasive 3D-printed medical alloys.
Surgical Precision SCD Micro-Blades Single-crystal diamond edges for customized surgical jigs/tools. Offers atomic-level sharpness (Ra < 1nm) for cleaner bone cuts and faster patient recovery.
Smart Implants BDD Biosensors Integration of Boron-Doped Diamond electrodes into 3D structures for in-vivo pH or localized infection monitoring without the toxicity of traditional sensor materials.
Thermal Management PCD Heat Spreaders If Koln 3D expands into high-power medical lasers or surgical robotics electronics, 6C provides the thermal conductivity (up to 2000 W/mK) needed for miniaturization.

Engagement Hooks

  • Technical Question: "As you scale your patient-specific implants, how are you addressing the long-term risk of metallosis and wear debris in high-mobility joints like hips or knees where metal-on-polyethylene interfaces eventually fail?"
  • Value Statement: "6C can help Koln 3D transition from 'customized fit' to 'lifetime durability' by integrating MPCVD diamond coatings directly onto your 3D-printed titanium architectures, achieving the lowest friction coefficient possible in human bio-environments."
