Thus, it could not bear the weight if titanium alloy. The weight of the same volume of PEEK materials is only one-fourth of the titanium alloy, and the texture is closer to bird\u2019s beak, which has a better stress resistance and hydrolytic stability, non-toxic, corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance.

The difficulty in installing the artificial beak is that there is a thin fleshy membrane in the middle of the crested ibis beak, which is full of capillaries, thus we need to be very careful for it. IEMAI 3D took is very seriously, does not want anything happen to the crested ibis; thus, once after receiving the demand, we respond quickly and communicated several times to complete all the processes from reverse engineering design, optimization, printing and post-processing. After many iterations, it finally produced out the most suitable fake model.<\/p><p>After the operation, IEMAI 3D adopted this crested ibis. Its name is \u201cMaibao\u201d, which means IEMAI\u2019s Baby. 23 days had passed since the operation of Maibao, Sichuan Muchuan Crested Ibis Breeding Center took great care of it during this period. Even Maibao had its beak implanted, however it required a process for rehabilitation and habituation process after the operation. Thus, manual feeding is still required during these few days. We are also paying attention to the latest status of Maibao, to respond quickly if anything happens.<\/p><p>Until April 11 ,2020, we checked the surveillance video and found that Maibao had preyed on a loach in the pool just as if the original lower beak were still there. The predation process is quick. We were so excited to hear this news.<\/p><p>The reason we give \u201cMaiBao\u201d as the name of crested ibis, is because it means responsibilities, which is the best driving force. This not only drives us to continue to pay attention to and care about the status of Maibao, but also drives us to continue to develop core technology, pay attention to application of science and technology, and contribute to the development of science and technology in society, the country and the world.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-783b16f e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"783b16f\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;boxed&quot;}\" data-core-v316-plus=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-208f5be elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"208f5be\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"924\" src=\"https:\/\/store.iemai3d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/2.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1038\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/store.iemai3d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/2.jpg 750w, https:\/\/store.iemai3d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/2-244x300.jpg 244w, https:\/\/store.iemai3d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/2-600x739.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d068908 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"d068908\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;boxed&quot;}\" data-core-v316-plus=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-337f3fe elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"337f3fe\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Imai Intelligent Technology Co.
