Are you a medical student? Or perhaps a surgeon already?
So, this post is for you!
How many times did you want to study anatomy by holding the actual organ? And how many times did you wanted to practice a procedure before going to the surgery room? But you couldn't do it because it was either expensive or you didn't have access to the equipment?
Well, earlier than you expect, it will be possible to solve these issues. Thanks to a collaboration between Inova DE, Create it Real and the Universities of Heidelberg and Tübingen within the framework of the Eurostars Programme, we will get you realistic organs delivered home.
Our 3D printed organ models will be realistic, affordable and conform to the current patient images. These anatomically correct models will have the same haptic characteristics as real organs, enabling a better learning experience.It will be possible to replace the animal models that are used today.
To make it possible, consortium will improve existing hardware and software models available for 3D printing. Are you curious?
