Why do we need 3D printing in Healthcare
3D-printed medical devices can be developed at the point of care: from the creation of anatomically precise models for educational purposes, to creating implants and prostheses that improve patient care.
What can you achieve with 3D printing?
A radiologist can use patient imaging data to print anatomical models to assist in preoperative planning, leading to safer and more time-efficient surgery. Or an orthopaedic surgeon can print guides, instruments, and even personalised implants. Promising research about the potential for tissue engineering using 3D printing is also emerging.
Why printing over conventional manufacturing?
3D printing can quickly produce high resolution, patient-specific reference models from CT imaging that improve preoperative care. Complex models and medical devices can be speedily manufactured and iterated without the need for outsourcing.
Considering the switch to 3D?
It’s easier than you think to get started with a 3D printer. Formlabs SLA printers really are “plug in and get printing”, but Additive-X are here to help you every step of the way
