Additive manufacturing is characterized by a high degree of indi-viduality and flexibility with regard to design and product layout. This enables the integration of different functions in a component. Application specific parameters such as load-bearing capacity, biocompatibility and manufacturing restrictions play a role of var-ying relevance. The combination of these parameters suitable for the individual patient case (implants) often cannot be realized with only one material. At time, however, only limited research has been done on design, manufacturing and application of hy-brid implants (use of several materials). The aim is to develop and evaluate a process for designing hybrid implants depending on individual requirements and to clarify whether automation of this is possible.
