OPM Licensed for Marketing & Manufacturing 3D Printed Medical Devices in Asia https://ift.tt/2AipFiI Oxford Performance Materials Inc. is a Connecticut-based company we have followed for years as they continue to forge ahead in the realm of 3D printed implants. Their proprietary OsteoFab technology has propelled them into the industry of medical devices in both materials sciences and manufacturing. Now, this will also include the Japanese market as well. OPM was just recently accredited as a foreign medical device manufacturer by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare. With this international development, they will also be creating OPM Asia in partnership with JSR Corp. of Tokyo. JSR is known for their strength in the life sciences industry in Asia, including a personalized medicine ecosystem, 3D software, drug discovery, and more. The license will allow the new partners to market and manufacture medical devices in the following countries, with products expected to be on the Asian market by 2019 in:

With the OPM and JSR partnership in place, they also intend to expand into other areas:
