Making amputee individuals’ lives easier with 3D prosthesis solutions, UNYQ will enhance its manufacturing capacity with a new facility. Opening in USA North Carolina, this facility is told to be supported by the company’s solution partner 3D Systems.
Presenting solutions to medical sector with 3D prothesis and orthesis, UNYQ is widely preferred for its products’ quality as well as aesthetics. Offering easy use, comfortable and elegant prosthesis to amputees, the company gives a cost effective service thanks to 3D technology. Aiming to increase its services with a third facility, UNYQ will reach more users.
“We are thrilled to join forces with UNYQ,” says Avi Reichental, President & CEO, 3D Systems. “Together, our two companies are making these life-changing medical solutions more advanced, more impactful and more accessible for everyone with prosthetic and orthotics needs. We are excited to work with a company that has built such a strong community of patients and providers across the globe.”
UNYQ CEO Eythor Bender said of the new office, “We are excited to tap into Charlotte’s start-up community to find individuals who will be as passionate as we are about empowering prosthetic, orthopedic and sports medicine bracing users with products which not only improve comfort, but offer an affordable, fashionable expression of themselves. The proximity to our strategic partner, 3D Systems, and the diverse local medical community also made this an easy location decision.”
A big part of why the company has expanded into North Carolina has to do with its ongoing partnership with 3D printing giant 3D Systems, which is headquartered in South Carolina. The two companies teamed up in 2015 in an effort to bring personalized 3D printed smart prosthetic devices to the market, establishing UNYQ as the preferred commercialization partner for 3D Systems. In other words, 3D Systems supplies UNYQ with intellectual property for 3D printed prosthetics, which UNYQ commercializes and then distributes on a large scale.
