U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) said this week that Oxford Performance Materials of South Windsor is this week's "Murphy's Monday Manufacturer."

OPM is located at 30 South Satellite Road in South Windsor.

A materials science company founded in 2000, OPM is an innovative biomedical devices manufacturer that specializes in 3D printing for the medical device and industrial markets. Murphy said. 

The company has three strategic business units: OPM Biomedical, OPM Industrial, and OPM Materials. OPM Biomedical's OsteoFab technology is used to produce numerous orthopedic implant applications, including cranial, facial, spinal and suture anchor devices. 

OPM is the first and only company to receive Federal Drug Administration 510(k) clearance to manufacture 3D printed patient-specific polymeric implants, and the company has six 510(k) clearances in its portfolio.

OPM has shipped more than 140,000 3D printed OsteoFab implants since it first innovated the technology in 2012. The company employs more than 45 people and works out of a 34,000-square-foot facility in South Windsor.

"For two decades, OPM has represented the very best that Connecticut manufacturing has to offer, and their technological and medical innovations advance manufacturing into the 21st century. I'm proud to highlight OPM this week and my office stands ready to help them in any way we can," said Murphy.

"Connecticut has always been at the forefront of advanced manufacturing, and as manufacturing and the digital revolution converge it is critical that our political leadership has a keen appreciation for this new reality," OPM CEO Scott DeFelice said. "We have benefitted from close association with a number of Connecticut-based companies, colleges and universities over the years, and we are very grateful to Senator Murphy for keeping a keen focus on Connecticut's manufacturing economy."

OPM Industrial produces 3D printed OXFAB production parts for highly demanding applications in the energy, transportation and semiconductor markets. OXFAB structures offer significant weight, cost, and time-to-market reductions that are defined in a set of specified performance attributes in the exhaustive OPM B-Basis database, developed in conjunction with NASA.
