Providing 3D-printed anatomical models for educational purposes, in order to better prepare students, by offering real life and rare cases simulators to practice on. Annually, we 3D print over 8000 models to sustain educational activities and extra-curricular activities, such as workshops. Helping Bachelor’s, Master’s and PhD students to implement 3D printing in their studies and projects.
Preoperative planning
Accurate 3D-printed models of patient-specific anatomy to plan surgical procedures, allowing for a better understanding, adaptation of the procedure and leading to more precise surgical interventions, with lower rates of complications and shorter duration.
Surgical guides
Development of personalized 3D printed surgical guides, for different specialities such as orthopedics, oncology, maxillofacial and neurosurgery, to aid in the accurate placement of incisions, screws and rods, as well as in reconstructions. Each year, we produce over 300 surgical guides, used in scoliosis surgery for pediatric patients.
Custom Prosthetics
The lab can create custom prosthetic limbs that are tailored to the individual needs of the patient, by rapid prototyping.
Using evolving technologies, such as 3D bioprinting, which involves the construction of living tissues, with future prospectives in regenerative medicine and potentially replacing animal models in drug testing. SLM technology allows the 3D printing of titanium, known for its strength and biocompatibility, with the aim of implementing it in the field of medical implants. Promoting sustainable practices in 3D printing, by transforming waste PET into usable filament for 3D.
