Stuttgart Partnership Initiative Mass Personalization (SPI-MP)

The Stuttgart Partnership Initiative Mass Personalization (SPI‑MP) is a research network run by the University of Stuttgart. It focuses on conducting excellent basic research in the fields of fabrication and biomaterial technologies for personalized biomedical systems. The research projects at the SPI-MP include additive manufacturing of personalized cartilage implants, two-photon polymerization of bio-based polymers for personalized tissue replacement and life cycle engineering for all materials used.

The SPI-MP represents the University of Stuttgart in the Center Mass Personalization. The aim of the SPI-MP is to further expand and consolidate the collaborative research work between the university and the Center Mass Personalization with the aim of facilitating additional projects and partnerships.

The Stuttgart Partnership Initiative Mass Personalization (SPI-MP) research network at the University of Stuttgart conducts excellent basic research into fabrication and biomaterial technologies for personalized biomedical systems.

We carry out interdisciplinary research at the interface between production technology, biomedical engineering and material sciences.

We contribute to every focus area within the Center Mass Personalization.

We have a specific focus on health, with the following aims:

• To ensure medical devices are more closely adapted to patient needs in order to maximize medical benefits
• To take the scientific findings made in the Center Mass Personalization and transfer them to society and industry
• To provide excellent teaching across disciplines in the field of Mass Personalization
