How Segmentation-as-a-Service will underpin the patient-specific treatment revolution
The drive towards patient-specific treatment is accelerating as technological and medical advances open up the opportunity to deliver affordable, personalized care. This will take into account genomics and the individual’s biological, physiological and anatomical characteristics, and will include patient-specific implants. In the future, the idea of using off-the-shelf surgical implants could become as anachronistic as […]
How Segmentation-as-a-Service can transform 3D printing at the point of care
Imagine if your printing lab could meet every request for a 3D model quickly and cost-effectively. Imagine if you never had to make that difficult choice between creating a model for one surgical procedure and not another. Imagine if the answer was always yes. 3D print lab managers know the multiple benefits that patient-specific, 3D […]
Why Segmentation-as-a-Service™ is central to meeting future demand for 3D modeling
The use of 3D modeling is transforming the approach to complex surgical procedures worldwide, delivering better pre-operative planning, reduced intraoperative time, quicker recovery rates and more efficient theater scheduling. Yet for all its undisputed benefits, the demand for 3D modeling is currently constrained. Primarily, this is down to the practicalities of funding. For example, in […]

Innovating for the ‘new normal’ in delivering surgery services
History tells us that organizations that invest in innovation during a crisis outperform their peers in the recovery – McKinsey. COVID-19 has disrupted surgical services in hospitals across the country, leading to the cancellation or deferral of millions of elective procedures, resulting in a significant backlog of elective surgeries, and leaving many hospital systems across the […]
3 ways 3D modeling can reduce surgery costs in your hospital
The COVID-19 pandemic has put tremendous financial stress on hospitals around the world. This is in part due to the postponement or cancellation of elective procedures, especially orthopedic surgeries, which are among the most profitable for these hospitals. To remain financially solvent, hospitals are being faced with the pressure of finding ways to move through […]
Innovation in patient imaging: How 3D modeling is driving down surgery costs
Discover how an evolution in patient imaging is driving down surgery costs and supporting improved outcomes… Medical Imaging officially took off in the 1920s, almost 30 years after x-rays were first discovered. Although there were many improvements to x-ray techniques over the first half of the 20th century, early x-rays subjected patients to 50 times […]
How 3D modeling can increase operating room throughput & help reduce the backlog of surgeries caused by COVID-19
It’s no secret that COVID-19 has wreaked havoc with surgical capacity in many hospitals across the country in 2020, leading to the cancellation or deferral of millions of procedures resulting in a significant backlog of surgeries, and leaving many hospital systems across the US wondering how they can quickly and safely increase operating room throughput […]
The easy way for surgeons to get 3D printing in their NHS hospital
You’ve heard great things about 3D anatomical modeling, and perhaps you’re now wondering how to access it in your hospital, without causing too much additional work for you or your team? Fear not, there’s an incredibly easy, intuitive way for you to request a patient-specific 3D model for your next case. In order to create […]
Transforming parental education in pediatric surgery with 3D modeling
Even as a surgeon, 2D medical scans of a patient’s anatomy can be difficult to understand and interpret when forming a diagnosis or devising a pre-operative plan. Every physician is familiar with the scenario. The surgery has been mapped out, you’re confident in your approach but the parents are unsure whether to consent because the […]
