Rambam Health Care Campus, EOS and PTC Partner to Establish Advanced In-House Digital Implant Engineering Center

HAIFA, Israel and KRAILLING, Germany and BOSTON, July 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Rambam Health Care Campus, EOS, and PTC today announced collaboration to establish a Digital Implant Engineering Center at Rambam in Haifa, Israel. A dedicated team of engineers and physicians plan to work together to design, develop, and produce customized patient implants and devices using metal 3D printing.

The collaboration leverages Rambam's clinical expertise, EOS's industrial 3D printing technology, and PTC's advanced Creo® computer-aided design (CAD) solution. The initiative aims to enhance personalized care and improve patient outcomes by integrating advanced 3D-CAD design, validation, manufacturing, and quality within a unified framework.

Patient-specific implants have been shown to provide better anatomical fit and surgical accuracy. Producing implants at point of care improves collaboration between surgeons and developers, reduces reliance on external suppliers and speeds up patient treatment. This approach also shortens procedures and recovery times, helps maintain high quality standards, and helps meet regulatory requirements for safety and effectiveness.

"Personalized care represents the future of medicine, and Rambam is establishing a significant benchmark with its dedicated in-house center," said Dr. Michal Mekel, Director General (CEO), Rambam Health Care Campus. "This initiative supports Rambam in developing patient-specific care that emphasizes innovation, clinical value, and operational excellence."

"Point-of-care innovation in healthcare depends on integrating advanced industrial-grade additive manufacturing with validated hospital workflows. Our open software structure enables such scan-to-print workflows," said Nikolai Zaepernick, CSO, EOS. "We view this as a vital step toward a repeatable, highly responsive and digitally connected model for patient-specific care."

"Cutting-edge personalized implants require a connected digital foundation that ties together clinical need, design, manufacturability and workflow discipline," said Dr. Ronen Ben-Horin, Vice President Technology, PTC. "The Digital Engineering Center at Rambam demonstrates how intelligent digital engineering drives innovation. We see this development as a breakthrough for the health care industry and are proud our technology will play a central role."

This initiative represents a significant move toward digitally integrated, clinically driven solutions for complex, customized treatments. By combining clinical expertise, engineering knowledge, structured processes, and advanced additive manufacturing, the partners aim to create a system that enables patient-specific innovation. This framework could help major hospitals around the world access tailored implant solutions, leading to faster and better patient care.
