Daily experience with 3D printing in a general hospital

The medical 3D lab at Medisch Spectrum has become a recognized and permanent part of the organisation. It was founded in 2018 and is organized from the department of Medical Technology & Clinical Physicists, serving over 10 departments. We work with a team of healthcare professionals, including Technical Physicians and Biomedical engineers.
This talk we will share our experience of setting up this 3D lab and showcase what we currently do to create higher quality of care, including 3D printing of patient specific guides and mold and Virtual Surgical Planning.
