3D Systems is the only manufacturer to offer both 3D printers and software for FDA-cleared, diagnostic-quality anatomic models. You can select from a broad range of materials capable of biocompatibility and sterility to 3D print on technologies that include ColorJet Printing, MultiJet Printing, Stereolithography and Selective Laser Sintering. 

Since each patient's anatomy is different, patient-specific anatomic models provide an opportunity to visualize and plan surgeries prior to entering the operating room. In addition, you can use anatomic models to educate patients and their families on an upcoming procedure.

Advanced Software

  • D2P® Software

    Create diagnostic-quality digital 3D models and physical 3D prints quickly and easily with FDA-cleared D2P software. When DICOM images are imported, D2P consolidates all 3D model segmentation and preparation steps into one workstation. 

    Automatic segmentation algorithms driven by deep learning—combined with advanced virtual reality (VR) visualization—help minimize the time and effort associated with the creation of anatomic models.

    Geomagic® Freeform® Software

    Design intricate structures and sculpted shapes, especially patient-specific models, with Geomagic Freeform. 

    Leverage the industry’s most comprehensive, organic, hybrid-design software on the market. It can help you solve complex, precision design and manufacturing challenges while easily addressing tasks within existing scan-to-print or CAD-to-manufacturing workflows.
