3D printing, as an unbeatable manufacturing technology for the production of unique products, is quickly finding its place in healthcare, which is already contributing to improving the quality of care and the best patient experience in many areas. It can be widely used in additive procedures, for example, for surgical preparation, speeding up surgeries, producing necessary medical devices, developing new medical instruments and equipment, and improving the lives of those in need of limb prostheses.
Surgical planning: 3D printing can make the work of surgeons easier both during preparation and during surgery. CT and MR images can now be easily converted into 3D models, which can be printed and surgeons can practice on patient-specific organ replicas before performing complex operations. The availability of biocompatible, blood-contacting materials also enables the creation of customized, sterilizable surgical aids, such as matching drill guides.
Medical device manufacturing: Accelerate the development process of medical devices with multiple 3D printing per day! Additive manufacturing can produce functional end-use parts, small series, biocompatible medical devices faster and more cost-effectively than traditional methods. 3D printing enables agile, unique, small and medium series production with even injection-molded surface quality, so we can develop, enter the market and produce at lower costs and ahead of the competition.
Custom prostheses, orthoses: With 3D scanning and 3D printing, limb prostheses, cast replacements or insoles, for example, can be made that fit the patient's body exactly. Additive manufacturing significantly speeds up the process of producing customized prostheses and orthoses, and can also create unique products that offer patients the same functionality as traditionally manufactured prostheses much more cheaply.
Actual project completion date: September 26, 2025.
