Abstract:
Additive-manufacturing systems for forming non-woven fibrous implants are disclosed. Additive-manufacturing systems may include a robotic subsystem having scanning and imaging equipment configured to scan a patient's anatomy, and an armature including at least one dispensing nozzle configured to selectively dispense at least one material. The system may further include a controller apparatus configured to send a control signal to control the scanning and imaging equipment to determine a target alignment of a patient's spine, and develop an additive-manufactured printing plan including an additive-manufactured material selection plan based on the target alignment of the patient's spine. The controller may execute the additive-manufactured printing plan to: dispense the at least one material to form a non-woven fibrous component. The non-woven fibrous component may define a plurality of randomly oriented fibers further defining a plurality of open pore spaces between adjacent fibers configured to facilitate boney ingrowth between adjacent fibers.
