India Backs Ceramat to Commercialise 3D-Printed Patient-Specific Bone Grafts

Ceramat already manufactures bone-graft materials using conventional processes, including hydroxyapatite, beta-tricalcium phosphate and biphasic calcium phosphate. These are calcium phosphate-based biomaterials widely used because their mineral composition resembles that of natural bone. The company also works with bioactive glass and other advanced ceramic materials.

Why India Wants to Own the Technologies That Shape the Future

Many technologies that were once treated as specialised products are becoming foundational infrastructure. Semiconductors are embedded in telecommunications equipment, automobiles, aircraft, medical devices, industrial machines, power grids, defence systems and data centres. A serious disruption in semiconductor supply can therefore affect multiple sectors at the same time.
