3D Printing in Medicine Course
When you’re seeking to set up a 3D printing facility at your practice, you’ll need to begin by convincing your hospital with a clear business case and measurable benefits. Want to know how to get started?
Attend the 3D Printing in Medicine course for expert insights on how to implement 3D printing in your hospital.
This event has now passed. Whatch here the highlights of the 3D Printing in Medicine course 2019.
This event is intended for hospital staff in the following areas:
- Clinical scientists
- Orthopedic surgeons and consultants
- Medical imaging specialists
- Radiologists
- Orthognathic and reconstructive surgeons
- Clinical engineers
- Cardiovascular specialists
- Pediatric specialists
3D technology has been transforming healthcare for over 20 years. It’s been used in applications from designing and producing custom devices and instruments, to planning complex clinical procedures and training future medical professionals more effectively. And that’s just the start.
But nothing of those achievements would have been possible without the support of a medical community sharing their experiences and inspiring each other to apply 3D technology and enable patient-specific healthcare.
Be a part of this community and join us for this event offering inspirational sessions, peer-learning and networking opportunities.
“I'm on mission to start a 3D lab at the hospital, so this course was spot on for me.”
– Jan Magne Gjerde, St. Olavs Hospital, Norway
The 3D Printing in Medicine Course brings together the innovation-minded healthcare community to share their knowledge how to integrate and expand 3D technology in hospitals.
Join us for two full days of hands-on sessions, consultancy, peer learning, practical cases and demonstrations. Two days later, you’ll leave with practical knowledge on how to start implementing a sustainable and efficient 3D printing workflow in your hospital.
