Case Study: Academic Medical Center – Amsterdam speeds customized radiotherapy bolus production with Raise3D Pro2 3D printers

Academic Medical Center – Amsterdam prints patient-specific bolus molds in 2–3 days with Raise3D

The Academic Medical Center – Amsterdam (AMC) needed a reliable and efficient method to create custom-fitted radiotherapy boluses for cancer patients. Their previous manual process was time-consuming, imprecise, and resulted in ill-fitting boluses with air gaps that compromised dose distribution. They turned to Raise3D and implemented the Raise3D Pro2 3D printer to address this challenge.

Using the Raise3D Pro2, AMC now 3D prints precise custom molds for each patient's unique anatomy from existing CT/MR scans. This solution allows them to quickly produce perfectly fitting silicone boluses that eliminate air gaps, improve target coverage, and enable more accurate patient positioning. The reliability, large build volume, and speed of the Raise3D printer ensure patients do not face treatment delays, and the remote monitoring capability provides further operational efficiency.
