Case Study: 3D4Med advances medical training and pre-surgical planning with Stratasys 3D printing

3D4Med expands 3D printing in medicine over 10+ years with Stratasys

3D4Med, a clinical 3D printing laboratory based in Italy, faced the challenge of preparing for complex pediatric and minimally invasive surgeries. These procedures are performed in small anatomical spaces and often entail a complete loss of tactile feedback, making preoperative planning and surgical training difficult. To address this, 3D4Med partnered with Stratasys to leverage their 3D printing technology for creating accurate, patient-specific models.

Stratasys provided their Digital Anatomy Printer and specialized materials like GelMatrix, TissueMatrix, and BoneMatrix to create highly realistic anatomical models with accurate mechanical properties. This solution allowed surgeons to simulate and plan surgeries, improving their technical skills and learning curve without practicing on live patients. The partnership with Stratasys provided 3D4Med with valuable technology that enhanced surgical planning, training, and ultimately contributed to better healthcare and patient outcomes.
