A customizable implant made of plastic including a thermoplastic which is reinforced with long fibers arranged multidirectionally in a targeted manner and has a modulus of elasticity E of 10-70 GPa is provided. A system for producing a customizable implant including a device for collecting patient data regarding the environment into which an implant is to be inserted, a computer program for creating a model for a customized implant based on the patient data collected, and a device for producing the customized implant based on the calculated model by means of 3D printing and/or laser sintering is also provided.

Implant made of fibre-reinforced plastic

The invention relates to an implant preform made of plastic, which comprises an assembly of at least one biocompatible&#x2014;being intended for contact with a biological material&#x2014;thermoplastic plastics unit (A) having an elasticity modulus Eand at least one thermoplastic plastics unit (B) having an elasticity modulus E, where for the elasticity moduli of these plastics units E&#x3c;E, and the plastics units in their assembly zone are seamlessly connected thermally to one another. The invention also relates to the production of the implant preform made of plastic and also to the use of the implant preform as an implant or for fabrication of an implant therefrom, more particularly to the use thereof as a dental implant or for fabrication of a dental implant. The invention can also be applied to other bone implants.
