Mecuris is a medical technology start-up that was founded in 2016 as a spin-off from the University Hospital Munich (LMU).
The idea behind Mecuris originally arose from two different research projects: Jannis Breuninger researched additively manufactured prostheses and prosthetic feet at the Fraunhofer IPA in Stuttgart. Dr. Simon Weidert, on the other hand, worked on orthoses from the 3D printer at the University of Munich Hospital. The aim of both projects was to individualize and digitize the creation of orthopedic aids -Time-saving, high quality, reimbursable and above all as a real asset to the life of the wearer.

Tailor-made solutions for your customers
Individual orthoses & prostheses -digitally created, 3D printed
Our goal is to offer you the opportunity to create individual orthotics and prostheses online in a cost- and time-saving manner. Integrated into a digital value chain, we are your partner for the future in orthopedic technology. To do this, we translate traditional craftsmanship into digital workflows and patient-specific products that are manufactured using industrial 3D printing:I'm always up-to-date, always up to dateto meet the highest quality and safety standards.
Interdisciplinary research project for the digitalization of orthotics
At present, orthoses are still largely fabricated by hand or as catalogue goods. Individual fabrications are currently still combined with a high level of manual craftsmanship. With the introduction of MDR next year, the approval of these aids will also become more difficult. This inevitably leads to an immense amount of time and an increase in costs.
In this respect, digitalisation in particular offers new opportunities for the medium-sized sector. The additive production of orthopaedic aids is becoming more and more common. However, a complete digital process chain from patient scan to additive manufacturing does not yet exist.

In order to counteract exactly this challenge, the three-year joint project "SIGMA3D – Simulationsgestützte Medizintechnikplattform zur individuellen 3D-Hilfsmittelversorgung" (engl.: Simulation-based medical technology platform for individual 3D aid supply).started in March 2020. The overall goal is to digitally map the entire digital process chain.
For the first time, a digital quality check is also to be carried out on the Mecuris Solution Platform by validated safety and performance tests providing valuable information for the product documentation required by MDR.
The digital process at a glance
As project managers, we, the Mecuris team, work together with our project partners from industry, research, service providers from the healthcare sector and health insurance companies to advance the future of orthopaedic technology. Orthopaedic companies, regardless of their size, will in this way be able to individually model and digitally test web-based orthoses using patient-specific data.
Project partners
Antonius Köster GmbH & Co Kg is a provider of design and development services. For 25 years the company has been dealing with the introduction of 3D CAD/CAM workflows in companies, especially in the medical and Orthopaedic technology.
CADFEMMedical has set itself the goal of making the added value of simulation benefit a "new" product: the human being. The company benefits from the extensive experience of more than 25 years of Finite Elemente Simulation and applies it in a new way.
As a successful traditional company of the Berufsgenossenschaft Rohstoffe und chemische Industrie BG RCI, the core competencies of Care Center Rhein-Ruhr have been in technical orthopaedics and orthopaedic shoe technology for over 100 years.
