Research and development
FORGINAL medical invests in research and development so that it has a long-term view of the market and can anticipate what new technologies will bring.
For example, FORGINAL medical was part of an economic group called ORTHOPEE, the purpose of which is to carry out experiments on powder technology and additive manufacturing. Various types of prostheses made of a variety of materials have been produced and tested in order to analyse their performance.
We are planning to invest in the performance of this type of technology in the coming years so that we can support you in your future developments.
