3D printing
3D printing is only one of the ways the 3D PrintViz lab is changing the game for patient care. Through a variety of printers, we have the power to print any medical image representation. With new advances in technology, physicians can request various anatomy parts to include colors and textures that fit their needs. Surgeons and physicians have used these models to aid in surgical planning, intra-operative guidance, and, most importantly, advancing patient and medical education.
3D printing requires an advanced team of engineers and radiologists to plan and build these models. The 3D PrintViz team is there to walk our clients through every project phase, including acting as a sounding board for new ideas.
Personalizing treatment is one of the many ways that UC Davis strives to advance medical care. 3D printing allows our physicians to customize their skills to fit the patient's unique needs.
