The medical industry, including medical device manufacturers, equipment makers, and medical manufacturing companies, is experiencing a transformation driven by the integration of 3D printing technologies. Unlike traditional subtractive manufacturing methods, 3D printing allows for the creation of complex geometries, patient-specific customization, and lightweight designs that are otherwise difficult to achieve. This revolution spans medical devices, equipment, models, and surgical tools, enhancing innovation and efficiency.
Over the years, we have gained extensive experience manufacturing medical devices and anatomical parts, supported by our ISO 13485 certification achieved in October 2024. We cater to a diverse range of healthcare providers, from local practices to leading healthcare institutions. Our commitment to quality and excellence is underscored by our dedication to meeting the highest standards in medical 3D printing. Utilizing industrial additive technology and a wide selection of healthcare-specific materials, including USP Class 6 materials known for their biocompatibility, we ensure our innovative solutions deliver precision, reliability, and exceptional performance.
With a diverse range of medical manufacturing materials and advanced solutions, we meet your needs for patient-specific models, devices, and tools. We offer materials that comply with ISO 10993 and USP Class VI for Gamma, EtO, and steam autoclave sterilization. Alternatively, you could visit our materials page, use our material selection tool, or contact us to have us help you walk through the material and technology selection process.
3D printing in the medical industry allows for the creation of customized prosthetics, surgical tools, anatomical models, and enhanced patient care through tailored and precise medical solutions.
The medical industry has utilized our services for innovative applications such as custom anatomical models from patient CT scans for pre-op surgery practice, medical training, and patient education.
At the Texas Cardiac Arrhythmia Institute, doctors use our 3D printing technology to create precise heart models, enhancing surgical planning and patient outcomes. Move to clinical trials faster by producing low volumes of medical devices or equipment with 3D printing, leveraging our advanced manufacturing capabilities. Read the case study here.
Stratasys Direct's 3D printing services create highly realistic anatomical models, replicating the feel, function, and dimensions of human tissues. These models are used for surgical planning, medical training, and device testing, providing healthcare professionals with accurate and effective tools to enhance patient outcomes.
3D printed surgical guides offer improved accuracy, reduced procedure time, and potentially minimized blood loss compared to traditional freehand techniques. Creating patient-specific guides based on medical scans allows surgeons to pre-plan complex procedures and achieve better outcomes.
Traditional reusable instruments are machined from stainless steel and sold in expensive kits. 3D printing allows for the creation of lightweight, ergonomic, single-use surgical instruments with customized features for specific procedures. This can improve surgeon comfort and dexterity, and lead to significant cost reductions for the health institution.
3D printing enables the creation of complex and/or patient-specific medical device components and prototypes. This can lead to improved functionality, reduced weight, and potentially faster turnaround times for custom components used in surgery or device development.
3D printing allows for creating custom-fit hearing aids and ear molds with improved comfort, retention, and sound quality compared to traditional options. Additionally, complex geometries can be achieved, leading to potentially more discreet hearing solutions. Examples include in-the-ear (ITE), behind-the-ear (BTE), and in-the-canal (ITC) hearing aids, all tailored to the specific contours of the user's ear.
3D printing allows for the creation of customized prosthetics and orthotics with a better fit, improved comfort, and lighter weight compared to traditional methods. This can lead to enhanced mobility, function, and quality of life for patients. Examples include prosthetic sockets, liners, ankle foot orthoses, remolding helmets, and more.
Whether using traditional or additive manufacturing, tracing a part back to its original build and material is vital. Our process ensures that every detail is carefully monitored, from the request for a quote to delivery, ensuring the production of perfect medical parts.
The Stratasys J850™ Digital Anatomy™ 3D Printer creates highly realistic anatomical models that mimic the feel, function, and dimensions of human tissues. It features pre-programmed settings for specific medical applications, such as vascular and cardiac models, which allow for precise simulation of clinical procedures. This printer uses advanced materials like TissueMatrix™, BoneMatrix™, GelMatrix™, and the radiopaque RadioMatrix™, enabling detailed and functional medical models ideal for training, surgical planning, and device testing.
