General information

Short Summary
The Austrian company is at the forefront of innovative solutions in the healtcare industry, specializing in the development and distribution of anatomical 3D printing models. Leveraging cutting-edge PolyJet technology, the SME aims to revolutionize medical education, surgical planning, and patient communication. They actively seeking strategic commercial and/or R&D partnerships to enhance the SMEs capabilities and to expand their reach.
Full Description
The core expertise of the Austrian SME lies in the creation of highly accurate and customizable anatomical 3D printing models. These models serve a wide range of applications, including medical education, pre-surgical planning, and patient-specific treatment strategies. With more than ten years experience in developing 3D models of ocular tissues and organs the company offers anatomical 3D printing models to practice in a risk-free environment, thereby enhancing the savety and effectiveness of real-life operations. The advantages and potential applications of the technology include:

- Precision and Accuracy: 3D printing process ensures the creation of anatomical models with exceptional precision, allowing for detailed and realistic representations.
- Customization: The SME offers the flexibility to tailor models to specific patient cases, enabling personalized education and treatment planning.
- Medical Training Enhancement: Models contribute to advanced medical training by providing hands-on experience with lifelike anatomical structures, improving the skills of healthcare professionals.
- Surgical Planning Support: Surgeons benefit from the technology by visualizing and practicing complex procedures on patient-specific models, leading to improved surgical outcomes.
- Research & Development: Prototype and visualize new medical tools, devices, or solutions with the aid of accurate anatomical models.

Interested parties are invited to get in contact with the Austrian SME for further discussions and exploratory meetings.
Advantages and Innovations
The technical benefits of the proposed technology include:
