3D PRINTING FOR MEDICINE & MEDICAL RESEARCH
3D print a custom model for specific surgery
Additive manufacturing is often used to prepare a surgical operation. With a 3D replica from the part of the body to be operated and obtained by a 3D scan, the surgeon can train and simulate the surgical procedure to be performed (intervention zone, template...).
Development of tools for medical research
3D printing helps to develop custom-made parts needed in medical and pharmaceutical research.
Custom sensors, functional prototypes can be tested to validate a specific concept.
Training and education from 3D printed models
3D printing can be used in medical education and training : reproducing a precise part of the body allows to simulate cutting or piercing on a fictitious operation and to manipulate organs reproductions.
3D printing of medical prostheses
3D printing allows you to create personalized prostheses that are perfectly adapted to each patient. The can be print in biocompatible materials such as titanium or some plastics.
