3D Systems has received additional 510(k) clearance for its D2P (DICOM-to-PRINT) software for the medical industry.

 .

The software, which enables clinicians to easily 3D print patient-specific anatomical models, works in tandem with 3D Systems’ 3D printers to create models for a range of medical areas, including cardiovascular, craniofacial, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, neurological and musculoskeletal applications.

 .

The additional clearance from the FDA will allow the D2P software to meet the growing demand by point-of-care institutions for the in-house production of patient-specific 3D printed models in order to prepare for complex surgical procedures and conduct more accurate diagnostics. “We are used to going into surgery with uncertainties and an arsenal of contingency plans,” explained Dr. Solomon Dadia, deputy director of the orthopedic-oncology department and director of the 3D surgical center at Souraski Medical Center in Tel-Aviv. “With 3D printed models and enhanced 3D visualization tools such as VR, we are able to […]
