3D Systems and Enhatch entered a partnership to meet the demand for personalized medical devices.
The technologies that drive the Enhatch Intelligent Surgery Ecosystem are intended to streamline and scale the design and delivery of patient-specific medical devices by automating the process. The pairing will join these capabilities into 3D Systems’ workflow for patient-specific solutions—which includes advanced software, expert treatment planning services, custom implants and instrumentation design, and production processes.
3D Systems partners with medical device manufacturers to offer its VSP® surgical planning solutions to support craniomaxillofacial and orthopedic medical specialties to help reduce procedure time and improve surgical outcomes. Likewise, Enhatch develops software applications powered by artificial intelligence to streamline every element of the patient-specific digital workflow. Enhatch is reportedly the first company to market an ecosystem of surgical technologies driven by artificial intelligence, which helps evaluate and mitigate potential risks in the surgical planning process. Combining the application and technology expertise of both companies is designed to yield an optimized, automated and scalable medical device workflow.
“Our partnership with Enhatch will enable us to deliver the healthcare industry’s most comprehensive approach to additive manufacturing,” said Menno Ellis, Executive Vice President, Healthcare Solutions, 3D Systems. “Integrating these technologies and capabilities into 3D Systems’ surgical planning solutions will make processes more efficient, trackable, and cost-effective.”
Peter Verrillo, Co-founder and CEO of Enhatch, said, “Enhatch is proud to welcome 3D Systems to the Intelligent Surgery Ecosystem. Healthcare ecosystems have tremendous potential to disrupt and reshape the entire industry, leading to improved patient outcomes, faster, more accurate and safer procedures.”
