Orthopedic implants vary largely in form, including size, shape, material, and surface finish. With such a wide range of parameters, control of the critical specifications of a part can become a challenge involving many different metrology instruments suited to different tasks. Tolerances on measured parameters are also often exceedingly tight with deference to a component’s functionality and longevity after surgical implantation.

This application note discusses the advantages of advanced optical profilometry in R&D and quality control for orthopedic implants, including case studies of automated hip cup inspection and orthopedic component design.

Readers can expect to learn more about:

The importance of inspecting orthopedic parts in a fast, accurate, repeatable, and non-destructive way;
Our simple and straightforward WLI-based technique for obtaining data from various materials, whether they are smooth and reflective, rough and non-reflective, or even highly transmissive; and
How Bruker’s WLI profilers are specifically designed for precise quality control in the orthopedic industry.
