3D modeling and 3D printing for healthcare

 

FORMED specializes in medical 3D printing by creating custom anatomical models. We accurately reproduce your patient’s anatomy and situation for visualization, communication, research and teaching.

 

How to obtain an anatomical model by 3D printing

The anatomical model is designed from medical imagery (CT or MRI in Dicom format) and your instructions using professional software. It can be delivered as a 3D file for viewing and validation, before being 3D printed and thus obtaining a realistic model of the desired anatomy.

1_ Data reception: Patient’s data (CT or MRI in Dicom format) + instructions

2_ 3D modeling: Medical imaging is treated with professional softwares. The different elements and areas of interest are segmented and modelled. The final object is designed taking into account its manufacture and use. Note: 3D model can be viewed for validation before 3D printing. It can also be ordered alone.

3_ 3D printing: The anatomical model is made with professional 3D printing technologies. Several options of materials and finishes are possible.

4_ Anatomical model delivery

 

What are the applications of our 3D anatomical models

_ Visualization: If an image is worth a thousand words, then an object is worth a thousand images! To visualize the particularities of a patient, before and / or after surgery, for example.

_ Communication: Universal language between the different stakeholders (surgeons, medical teams, patient, family) for better understanding and effective decision-making.

_ Teaching: Innovative training tools, reproducing as closely as possible the anatomies and pathologies of existing cases, even rare.

_ Research and development: The anatomical models and FORMED services make it possible to accelerate innovation and the development of new devices.
