Personalized patient care is increasingly becoming a reality, driven by technological advancements such as 3D printing and advanced visualization techniques. Having a dedicated in-house facility and support from Materialise engineers can cut days off the 3D printing process, support innovation initiatives, and result in lower overall costs incurred by the hospital.
The point-of-care 3D printing workflow
1. Image acquisition and segmentation
Combine automation with smart editing tools
2. Virtual planning
Make critical decisions preoperatively to ensure better surgical outcomes
3. Design for 3D printing
Use the patient’s anatomy as the starting point for better accuracy
4. 3D printing
Print with hardware and software that’s fully certified for diagnostic applications
5. Verification
Review and approve models with colleagues
