3D PRINTING
The 3D Printing Unit at INiBICA is a space dedicated to innovation and development in the field of healthcare, promoting research and the customization of medical devices. Through cutting-edge technology in 3D printing and anatomical modeling, it enables advanced surgical planning, the fabrication of specialized tools, and the creation of precise biomodels based on radiological studies. Its mission is to improve the precision of medical procedures, optimize surgical times, and offer solutions tailored to the needs of each patient, benefiting healthcare professionals, researchers, and companies in the sector alike.
The objective of this unit is:
- Promoting innovation and research: Fostering the development of new surgical techniques and medical devices by exploring the capabilities of 3D design and manufacturing, which can drive significant advances in the fields of surgery and medicine.
- Improving accuracy: Using advanced medical imaging technology to generate precise 3D models of the patient's anatomy, enabling more accurate surgical planning.
- Customizing Medical Devices: Designing and manufacturing customized devices and surgical tools that are specifically tailored to each patient's unique anatomy, which can improve outcomes and reduce complications.
- Optimizing surgical processes: Reducing surgery time and minimizing associated costs through preoperative planning and the custom fabrication of surgical instruments, which can improve the overall efficiency of the procedure.
- Facilitate simulation and training: Provide accurate 3D models that allow surgeons to practice complex procedures before the actual surgery, which can improve their skills and confidence. In addition, these models can be used to educate patients about their surgical procedure.
- Specialized consulting services for researchers, other groups, or companies regarding medical additive manufacturing technologies and advanced surgical planning.
