3D Modeling

Creation of 3D digital models from mechanical parts, CAD files and medical imaging (CT, MRI, 3D Ultrasound).

Cardiac Tumor Surgical Planning Model
 Cardiac CT. Powder-bed print.

“With the 3D model, we could figure out how to dismantle the tumour like a jigsaw puzzle before we even went into operation.”
- Dr. Shaf Keshavjee

3D Printing

Rapid turn-around 3D printing services with a wide range of printing technologies and materials. For prototyping and small scale manufacturing. Automated process monitoring available.

Patient-Specific Surgical Planing Models

Creation of 3D models from CT, MRI and 3D ultrasound to assist in planning surgical procedures. Models can be 3D printed or visualized in a variety of modalities such as on-screen rendering, animation, augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR).

Echocardiography phantom
CT data. FDM printed positives, Silicone molds; Gel wax and ballistic gel casts with graphite. Lasercut case.

Simulation & Task Training Systems

Development of high fidelity multi-modal simulators & task trainers based on medical imaging data, tailored to specific curriculum and educational objectives.
High-fidelity task trainers with a wide range of visual, tactile, and imaging properties can be manufactured at low-cost to capture a diverse selection of normal and pathologic variants based on real-life cases.
