PROTEOR Acquires Filament Innovations

Acquisition Will Strengthen PROTEOR's Expanding Digital Portfolio

DIJON, France, Feb. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- PROTEOR today announced the acquisition of Filament Innovations, a leader in the design and manufacture of 3D printing solutions for the Orthotics & Prosthetics (O&P) industry. With this pivotal acquisition, PROTEOR further strengthens & expands its portfolio of Digital Solutions, which now includes scanning, rectification software, and 3D printing capabilities. 

"By acquiring Filament Innovations, PROTEOR is able to offer the highest quality 3D printers in the industry while further elevating and streamlining the overall digital experience for our customers," said Edouard Archambeaud, CEO of PROTEOR. "We are very excited to welcome Filament Innovations into the PROTEOR family."

Filament Innovations is an industry leader in two key areas:

• Leadership in 3D Printer Technology. Filament Innovations is at the forefront of 3D Printing, mastering extrusion and high-speed printing of carbon-filled materials. Filament's premier printer – the ICARUS 3D Printer – has a well-earned reputation of excellence, offering clinicians advanced printing applications. One such application is the production of definitive sockets, a major advancement within O&P.
  
  
• Leadership in Printing Filament. Filament Innovations offers a variety of filament options, including pellets and filament of PETG, TPU, and CPX-KyronMAX. CPX-KyronMAX filament, a joint development effort, has passed internal standards to be classified as a Definitive socket – a first for the O&P industry. When combined with the ICARUS 3D Printer, this allows for Definitive prosthetic sockets to be printed in less than two hours.

"We are committed to providing our customers with the most advanced 3D printing technologies available today – including the highest-quality filament available," said Mike Gorski, CEO and founder of Filament Innovations. "The PROTEOR acquisition will enable our technologies and materials to reach more people in more places around the world. In this industry, I have learned a lot from our customers on how this process needs to be streamlined for widespread digital adoption. PROTEOR, especially with the ORTEN software, will soon allow us to connect all of our digital devices allowing for a streamlined digital workflow process, a critical process that is missing from the industry."
