About Restor3D
Founded - 2017 | Durham, NC | Stage -Growth-stage private medtech/Growth
Highlight
Restor3D develops personalized 3D-printed orthopedic implants and surgical solutions designed around patient-specific anatomy.
Problem
Orthopedic implants have long been built around standardized sizes and workflows, even when patient anatomy and surgical needs vary. That creates room for more personalized implant design, planning, and reconstruction tools.
USP
Restor3D combines 3D printing, AI-driven planning, and patient-specific implant design. The company has raised major capital and expanded across knee, hip, shoulder, ankle, and other orthopedic product areas. Restor3D spun out of Duke University in 2017 and maintains close ties to Duke’s engineering faculty and clinical surgeons.
