Case Study: Medical IP achieves ultra-realistic, patient-specific 3D anatomical models for surgical simulation and training with Stratasys

How Medical IP is using AI-based medical image analysis tech and 3D printing to transform training, product development, and surgical simulation

Medical IP, an AI-driven medical imaging startup, faced the longstanding challenge of turning 2D CT/MRI scans into realistic, patient-specific anatomical models for training, surgical planning, and device development—tasks poorly served by animal/cadaver models and legacy 3D printers that required multi-part assembly and heavy post‑processing. To overcome this, Medical IP partnered with Stratasys, using the Stratasys J750 full‑color, multi‑material 3D printer alongside its MEDIP segmentation and ANATNEL 3D workflow.

Using Medical IP’s FDA‑cleared AI segmentation to convert scans into printable 3D data and the Stratasys J750 to produce full‑color, textured models, the joint solution cut production time for complex simulators (e.g., pituitary tumor models) from more than a week to a single day, delivered realistic haptic feedback validated by surgeons, and enabled patient‑specific simulations and training (leading hospitals to request long‑term production plans). Stratasys’ J750 powered these measurable gains in throughput, realism, and clinical adoption.
