BIOMET 3I, LLC

Development of new materials, designs, and manufacturing methods for dental prostheses, restorations, and implants, focusing on aesthetics, durability, biocompatibility, and integration with oral structures.

Computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) techniques, including additive manufacturing (3D printing) and subtractive manufacturing (milling), for producing custom dental appliances and prosthetics.

Technologies for acquiring and processing three-dimensional digital representations of the oral cavity, teeth, and surrounding structures, often involving scanners, image stitching, and surface differentiation algorithms.

Materials and structures designed for implantation or tissue regeneration, focusing on properties like biodegradability, mechanical strength, cellular integration, and long-term in-vivo stability.

Processes for creating or manipulating three-dimensional digital representations of objects or environments, including mesh generation, surface fitting, and depth estimation from multiple views.

Systems and methods that use imaging technologies, computer vision, and augmented reality to provide real-time guidance, localization, and visualization during surgical procedures or for detailed anatomical assessment.

Creation of membranes and surfaces with nanoscale features to control properties like porosity, hydrophobicity, or catalytic activity, particularly for applications in filtration, separation, and environmental remediation.

Employs materials engineered at the nanoscale to create highly sensitive and selective sensors for detecting chemical, biological, or physical analytes, often leveraging plasmonic, photonic, or surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) effects.

Utilizing machine learning, particularly deep learning, to analyze medical data such as images, sensor readings, or physiological signals for disease prediction, diagnosis, or treatment assessment.

Electrically powered or mechanically actuated devices for daily oral care, such as toothbrushes and flossers, often incorporating features for enhanced cleaning, user feedback, or automated dispensing.
