3D Printing Laboratory

The 3D Printing Laboratory, part of the Center for Innovation and e-Health from the University of Medicine and Pharmacy "Carol Davila" Bucharest, is a non-profit facility dedicated to higher education research. We aim to cultivate medical innovation by implementing and encouraging the use of 3D printing in education, current medical practice, and research. We combine advanced technologies, medical data, and expert knowledge to create customized models, surgical guides, implants, and devices for setting a high educational standard and improving medical practice.

Our team, comprised of Doctors and Medical Engineers, aims to bridge the gap between the 3D printing technology and the personalized, more adaptable methods of modern medical care practices. Our goal is to offer personalized medical devices and planning to as many medical specialties as possible, using CAD-CAM and 3D printing to develop personalized medical devices. Our proposed solution is structured in a step-up tier, from digital presurgical planning to customized surgical guides, going up to implantable medical devices using the latest materials and technologies.

Our laboratory has ample experience with multiple 3D printing technologies, from thermoplastic systems (FDM, FFF, MC-FDM) and powder-based systems (SLS, LPBF) to medical grade 3D resin systems, high-performance PEEK 3D printing and extrusion-based 3D bioprinting. We have ample experience with both resin 3D printing (MSLA, SLA, LF-SLA) both in research and development, and mass-production manufacturing with over 40000 models printed on this technology (20000 medical models, and over 500 personalized biocompatible surgical guides) as well as metal 3D printing using medical grade titanium, which is currently being studied in veterinary cases

In addition, our laboratory welcomes yearly a number of both undergraduate and PhD students, aiding their research project with our knowledge and facility equipment.
