Planning of surgical interventions with 3D printing
The phenomenon of decentralization of production generated by the use of Additive Manufacturing has led to an increase in technology within hospitals, creating real 3D printing departments (Point-of-Care).
Having an internal dedicated structure allows the hospital/department to cut workflow times, support innovative initiatives and reduce the overall costs incurred by the hospital.
Benefits for patients: optimization of the outcome through 3D printed diagnostic models and better awareness of what is happening, which means higher consensus and trust in the doctor's work.
Benefits for doctors: higher safety and less stress in the operating room, simplified collaboration between multidisciplinary teams within the hospital, continuous training and experimentation.
Benefits for the hospital: reduction of operating room costs thanks to the reduction of procedure times, instruments and waste.
