3D Printing
Innovative applications of 3D printing have enormous potential to transform healthcare, making it more personalized and cost-effective.
3D printing is a process that creates a three-dimensional object from a digital model. Originally used to manufacture product prototypes, the uses of 3D printing have expanded to include applications that were unheard of even a decade ago. One such application is healthcare.
Because 3D printing can accommodate complex geometry or an individual patient’s anatomy, it is fast becoming an essential element of personalized medicine.
Today, 3D printing is used to manufacture patient-specific implants and surgical models, patient-matched external devices like prostheses, and special surgical instruments. It can even be used to manufacture ordinary, non-tailored items in short supply, such as protective gear and swabs.
Obeikan is partners with two leading companies in the medical 3D printing field, and is excited to bring the transformative uses of this technology to our region.
