Off late 3D printing has gained ample popularity. It is used extensively in the realms of jewelry making, medicine, architecture and designing, educational and industrial processes. 3 D printing encompasses the process of creating a three-dimensional structure from a digital file. This aim is achieved using additive processes. Using additive processes, an object is created by laying successive layers of material. 3D printing differs from the normal, conventional method which relies on the removal of the material by cutting and drilling.
As Medical science has embraced this 3D printing technology, several intricate surgical procedures have been simplified extensively. 3D printing provides a one stop, comprehensive solution, wherein the medicine practitioners can gauge the complexities of in vivo organs by studying the pre-operative models. These 3D Printed medical models bear great resemblance with real, in vivo organs, providing the surgeon the feel of the organ. This facilitates smoother surgical procedures.
Generation of a patient-specific preoperative surgical model, surgical guide, implant, etc. is an elaborate process where keen interest is paid to the intricate details. It encompasses three major steps viz. segmentation of the desired region on the 2-D imprints of MRI, CT or Echo Scan, generation of the 3D CAD model and lastly obtaining a life-size print of the model.

A CT/MRI scan with good resolution and contrast is preferred to segment out the most accurate details. For more information on imaging requirements, kindly Contact Us.
Depending on the complexity of models, the turn around time can vary from just 2 days to a couple of weeks.
Our firm’s core principal is consumer satisfaction. Several parameters are so designed and adapted to ensure that the 3D printed model is anatomically precise. Our FDA approved software’s tools enable precise generation of models. 3D printed models are channeled through a series of software-based checks and conformations which ensure that the model is of superior quality with accurate anatomically features.
One of our objectives is to generate patient-specific models, especially tailor-made to meet an array of anatomical needs. Several different models, specific to certain functions, forms, fits, and location, can be generated.
We are constantly working on different types of cases to develop a library of these models. Kindly Contact Us for more details.
A boon to the 3D printing industry has been its flexibility in terms of materials that can be explored. POP-based full-color models, ABS and flexible plastics, acrylic and resin-based materials allow us to serve a comprehensive array of applications. Several biocompatible materials such as PLA (Poly Lactic Acid), Nylon, PEEK, Titanium, Chrome-Cobalt, etc. have enabled millions to imagine the limitless possibilities. These materials are extremely durable and inert, having no side–effects.
Anatomiz3D is working towards making the most of this flexibility. We consult on materials based on your requirement or application of the final product. More information on the types of materials and printer can be found here.
3D printed models vary according to patient’s needs. The cost of each model depends upon the consumer’s needs and varies according to the intricacies involved, an anatomy of the structure, printing time, material type and volume. We believe in providing the most comprehensive solutions at reasonable costs, thereby ensuring that maximal consumer satisfaction is achieved.
