Axial3D announced the grand opening of a new medical 3D Printing Centre of Excellence located in the heart of Northern Ireland. This facility in Belfast will be dedicated to advancing the use of 3D printing for hospitals, medical device manufacturers and medical research companies.
Powered by Axial3D’s cloud-based segmentation service which turns 2D medical images into patient-specific 3D models, the new centre will provide even more hospitals and medical device manufacturers with easy access to realistic 3D printed anatomical models. Equipped with the latest 3D printing technology from Stratasys, Axial3D’s models will enable pre-surgical planning, simulation, device testing, patient-specific device design and more. The centre will also be able to provide models that mimic human tissue and bone and provide clinical versatility, repeatability and accuracy for healthcare professionals and medical device companies.
“When I founded Axial3D, our goal was to make patient-specific care routine and our new centre will allow us to help more clinicians and surgeons improve patient outcomes and provide medical device companies an affordable way to accelerate their patient specific programs,” CSO and Founder, Daniel Crawford said. “The opening of our new Medical 3D Printing Centre of Excellence represents a significant milestone for our company and for the field of medicine.”
