Materialise is a world leading 3D printing solutions provider, is working with partners to remove uncertainty and confusion for hospitals and physicians who are incorporating additive manufacturing into their diagnostic and surgical planning processes.

The company has launched a certification program that allows printer manufacturers that partner with the company to have products tested and validated as being fully compatible with Materialise Mimics inPrint software. inPrint is the first and only software to gain clearance from the FDA to develop 3D printed anatomical models for diagnostic and surgical planning uses. The inPrint software is printer- and material-agnostic, allowing Materialise to develop partnerships and solutions to meet a range of hospital and clinician requirements.

Materialise is working to address potential challenges for health care providers by ensuring their 3D operations are fully compatible and able to meet quality standards for developing and printing patient-specific 3D anatomical models. As the backbone of the additive manufacturing industry, Materialise incorporates nearly three decades of 3D printing experience and expertise to help medical professionals deliver more personalized patient care.

Stratasys and Ultimaker are the first two additive manufacturing hardware partners to participate in this program and to have their products tested by Materialise to certify compatibility.

Hospitals and physicians want the benefits of flexible software tools that are material and printer ‘agnostic,’ but they also require the certainty of knowing that flexibility won’t create compatibility challenges at deployment or in the future. We’re ensuring they can focus on patient care and improving people’s lives by providing compatible point-of-care solutions that meet their needs.”

.Bryan Crutchfield, VP and General Manager of Materialise North America. 

Materialise’s testing certifies that when used in combination with Mimics inPrint software and in compliance with relevant quality assurance standards and in accordance to manufacturer instructions, a printer is capable of printing models suitable for use in surgical planning and multidisciplinary communication.
