Individualized, complex braided vascular implants with a large number of wires pose greater challenges to current manufacturing processes. In addition to urgently needed flexibility in machine braiding, it must be possible to carry out the production process in a time-efficient manner. Both requirements - highest flexibility combined with high production speed - are technologically mutually exclusive. Until now. By applying modified physical principles of action to control the braiding paths and intelligent production equipment, the production process of braiding has been further developed in a forward-looking way. The production of patient-specific vascular implants (stents) is thus possible economically and in the highest quality.
