Custom IMD is an European research and development project formed by 13 partners. Partially funded by the European Union within the 6th Framework Programme, it will develop new biomaterials for customised medical implants. The main technology involved in the project is the Rapid Manufacturing, allowing the final product to be ready to surgery in 48 hours after medical request.
