Die Kraft der Innovation

Bei 3D VSP glauben wir an die Kraft der Innovation. Wir arbeiten eng mit Chirurgen, Krankenhäusern und Forschungseinrichtungen zusammen, um die Medizin mithilfe fortschrittlicher 3D-Technologien voranzubringen. Unser Team entwickelt und verfeinert patientenspezifische 3D-Modelle, die die wissenschaftliche Forschung unterstützen, die chirurgische Präzision verbessern und zu besseren Patientenergebnissen beitragen.

„3D VSP Automatisering“ receives EU funding

3D VSP was granted EU funding to work on replacing the manual, expert-driven workflows with digital, (semi-)automated pipeline. Parts of the project are automated segmentation, planning, fabrication and quality control. Using this project, we aim to boost capacity, cut errors and speed up the delivery of our patient specific instrumentation.

EU Funding: €26.500

Newly published PHD dissertation

With 3D VSP’s support, the dissertation ´Virtual Surgical Planning in patient-specific osteosynthesis’ has been published. This research explores advanced workflows and technologies such as AI-driven segmentation and customized implant design. Read the full thesis to learn about the methodology, key results, and potential clinical impact. We look forward to integrating these insights into our services and collaborating with partners to translate this cutting-edge research into improved patient outcomes.
