How 3D Printed Surgical Guides Improve Brain Surgery

How can 3D printing make a difference in the efficacy and impact of brain surgery?

The answer can be found at the University of Malaya’s Center for Biomedical and Technology Integration (CBMTI). They’re creating lifelike multi-material biomodels using Stratasys 3D Printing technology, simulating endoscopic neurosurgical procedures, which can change surgical planning and training landscape. Using Stratasys Objet Connex500 and Objet Eden 350 3D Printers (http://ow.ly/tYX5G), CBMTI produces models that feature different textures and densities over the surface and throughout the interior, simulating human body parts accurately, efficiently and cost-effectively creating realistic models.
