3D Systems launched anatomical 3D modeling

3D Systems announced a new service called "On Demand Anatomical Modeling Service," which will allow medical professionals to upload and print digital files in 3D format through the company. The idea is to make 3D printing models more accessible to the entire healthcare community. This new service from 3D Systems is designed to help the entire medical community, from students to surgeons.

Medical professionals needing a physical model to assist them in planning and diagnosing before surgery can now submit 3D models obtained from scanning data.

"For more than 25 years, 3D Systems has been helping medical professionals through a combination of anatomical modeling expertise and 3D printing expertise. The healthcare industry sees the benefits provided by 3D-printed anatomical models, and we are committed to continuing to expand our healthcare offerings to meet market needs. With the launch of our new anatomical modeling service, we are making 3D-printed models more accessible and easier for a wide range of healthcare organizations," said Katie Weimer, Vice President of Medical Devices at 3D Systems.

3D printing an anatomical model in a few simple steps

To 3D print an anatomical model, you first need to upload the 3D model file (whether STL, OBJ, or PLY) to the 3D Systems website.

Creating such models from scanning data is possible using commercially available software or D2P™ software from 3D Systems. D2P (short for Dicom to Print) is a "comprehensive solution for creating 3D digital models."

The company ensures that there is a "seamless connection" between the Anatomical Models website and the D2P software. Thus, when preparing your model, you can choose a composite from a range of materials. The company adds that the model will be ready within the next five business days.
