Our 3D Printing Service provides anatomical 3D printed models for surgical planning and education. 3D prints can be requested during the 3D imaging ordering process. To achieve optimal results we require high-resolution CT or MRI scans. Once the scan is obtained, we begin the process by segmenting the medical images to isolate specific anatomical structures. This segmented data is then converted into a 3D model and reviewed by the requestor.

Final models are produced using advanced 3D printing technologies such as Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), Stereolithography (SLA), and PolyJet. We offer hand delivery for on-site requestors and mail delivery for those at other Stanford locations. Additionally, we are exploring the development of custom cutting guides to assist in surgical procedures.
