The innovative spirit that began when our founder and CTO Chuck Hull invented 3D printing in 1983 continues to be the common thread in everything we do in healthcare. Since we began collaborating with medical device manufacturers to use additive manufacturing to help transform healthcare, we have pioneered virtual surgical planning solutions. In the last 10 years, we have worked with surgeons to plan over 140,000 patient-specific cases. Plus, we were the first to introduce full procedure simulation and patient-specific summation. We have also manufactured more than two million implants and instruments for 100+ CE-marked and FDA-cleared devices. With world-class, FDA registered, ISO 13485-certified facilities—located in both North America and Europe—we offer unparalleled expertise in 3D printing, engineering, quality control, and healthcare regulatory requirements. Our experience in designing and developing new products, ensuring precision production, and navigating commercialization processes enable our partners to bring revolutionary medical devices to market faster than ever before.
We provide industry-leading surgical planning, implants, instrumentation, and medical education solutions to help medical device manufacturers and healthcare providers accelerate innovation, and transform healthcare.
3D Systems’ VSP® surgical planning solutions combine best-in-class digital workflows with the industry’s broadest additive manufacturing portfolio of printers and materials to deliver comprehensive patient-matched solutions. We partner with device manufacturers, hospitals, and surgeons to innovate these customer solutions that help translate virtual surgery into the OR, personalize outcomes, and elevate the patient experience.
Medical device manufacturers need innovative ways to bring high-quality, reliable products to market faster. Our customers trust our unparalleled capabilities and experience in additive manufacturing to help them develop innovative medical devices and instrumentation. We also collaborate with them to determine the best approach to commercialization, either through contract manufacturing support from our two device manufacturing facilities or via technology transfer to our customer.
3D Systems helps hospitals and providers set up on-site 3D printing capabilities to design, manufacturer and deliver implants and instrumentation right at the point of care. With over 30 years of experience in healthcare, our Application Innovation Group (AIG) provides guidance on technologies and applications to make adoption of 3D technologies easy.
In over 30 years in healthcare, we have collaborated with manufacturers and surgeons in the Orthopaedic and cranio-maxillofacial fields to develop innovative implants and instrumentation, patient-specific surgical plans and devices, anatomic models and more. It is through this ongoing communication with leaders in these specialties that we have amassed knowledge needed to become a trusted resource for designing and producing high quality, reliable solutions.
