Johnson & Johnson-owned franchise, DePuy Synthes Ireland is investing \u20ac36 million to establish a 3D Printing Development and Launch Center in order to accelerate its additive manufacturing projects. The company is a global leader in orthopaedic and neurological solutions including hip and knee replacement joints. This new investment focusing strictly on 3D technologies should assert their key role in offering solutions for the medical field, particularly for the orthopaedic field.<\/p>\n

DePuy Synthes was acquired in 1998 by Johnson & Johnson and already employs 1,000 people at its Cork facility in Ireland. They are in the process of hiring 30 more people. Indeed, the company in the past had partnered with Aspect Biosystems<\/a> in order to bioprint human tissues and transform health care thanks to 3D technologies. Therefore, it is a real success for them to have received \u20ac36 million from the government in order to make new investments.<\/p>\n
