Innovation

A working record of research, projects and open questions.

Customize Medical works on research and development connected to patient specific design, digital engineering, additive manufacturing, advanced materials, industrial digitalization and resource efficiency. This page separates what is documented from what is still an objective or a concept.

Documented objective

The acquisition of additive manufacturing equipment for dental prostheses and structures connected to dental implants, using advanced alloys such as titanium.

Reading notes

  • The official document describes expected benefits connected to production quality, precision, efficiency, personalization, innovation and sustainability. These are project objectives, not confirmed company results.
  • The planned end date has passed. Completion and achieved results have not been verified on this website.

Planned period ended, completion and results not verified.

Research directions

The subjects we keep working on.

Development directions connected to devices designed around individual anatomy and defined professional requirements.

Work connected to additive production of dental prostheses and structures linked to dental implants.

Preparation, review and approval of projects in a digital environment before production.

Study of production methods that connect digital design with additive and subtractive manufacturing.

Early stage concepts assessed for feasibility before any product or regulatory pathway is defined.

Physical references used to evaluate geometry, feasibility and manufacturing approaches.

Assessment of materials applied to medical and dental projects according to process and application.

Concepts that place design and production capability closer to qualified healthcare environments.

Technologies examined for their role inside clinical and dental manufacturing workflows.

Process work connected to controlled workflows and more efficient use of materials and equipment.

These are directions of work. They are not statements about completed studies, laboratories, patents, publications or product registrations.

From research to application

A path with no guaranteed destination.

Need

Identification of a clinical or industrial need together with professionals or partners.

Sustainability

Resource efficiency, described carefully.

Sustainability is part of the innovation work rather than a separate story. The themes below describe directions studied inside projects. Measured environmental results will be published only with methodology, period, source and an accountable owner.

Funding
Republica Portuguesa, Portugal Recovery and Resilience Plan and European Union NextGenerationEU funding identities

Funding identities apply to the PRODUTECH R3 consortium context, supported by the European Union, NextGenerationEU and the Portugal Recovery and Resilience Plan.

Pending verification

Open entries, published as open.

Entry 01

BIOEQUIP and OZOHealth

Historical company material references BIOEQUIP and OZOHealth in collaboration with IncBio. OZOHealth is described as a concept involving ultrasound assisted ozone generation for viscous fluids intended for health and cosmetics applications. No project sheet, regulatory status, funding documentation, schedule or validated result report is available here, so it is presented only as a historical research reference and not as a commercial product.

Entry 02

Scientific publications

Historical presentations reference publications in oral and maxillofacial surgery journals. Complete citations, authors, dates and identifiers, together with their relationship to Customize Medical, have not been confirmed. Publication references will be published only when that documentation is available.

Evidence and transparency

Credible innovation requires documentation, review, traceability and responsible communication. On this page, verified official information, documented objectives, expected benefits, research concepts, results pending confirmation and commercially available solutions are kept separate on purpose.
