3D Systems announced that its Medical Modeling™ Virtual Surgical Planning (VSP®) technology – the combination of its production grade 3D printing and personalized surgery tools – has enabled surgeons to conduct complex surgical procedures on newborn and infant patients with more confidence in safety and success.   VSP allows surgeons to capture a digital model of the patient directly from an MRI or CT scan and work with 3DS’ Medical Modeling experts to create a detailed surgical plan and then 3D print physical models and custom surgical guides from 3DS’ biocompatible stereolithography (SLA) materials. By accessing 3DS’ entire personalized digital thread from perceptual devices like its TouchX™ haptic, VSP software tools and the guidance of its expert team of biomedical engineers, surgeons can virtually plan and physically practice critical steps of an operation before a patient ever sets foot in the operating room.   In a representative case, experts from 3DS’ personalized surgery team
