A Rare Tumor, an Innovative Solution: The Power of Virtual Reality and 3D Printing

We are pleased to share a new scientific contribution that explores a multidisciplinary and technologically advanced approach to the treatment of pediatric craniopharyngioma—a rare benign tumor of the hypothalamic–pituitary region, often associated with high morbidity. This work stems from the long-standing collaboration between PRINTMED 3D and the “Vittore Buzzi” Children’s Hospital in Milan, and stands […]

ESPU 2025 Award: the collaboration between Printmed-3D and Buzzi Children’s Hospital proves once again to be a winning partnership

We are pleased to announce that at the 35th Congress of the European Society for Pediatric Urology, held in Vienna from September 3-6, 2025 (https://jointmeeting2025.espu.org), the collaboration between Printmed and the Pediatric Surgery Department of the Vittore Buzzi Children’s Hospital (directed by Professor Gloria Pelizzo) has led to new international recognition, with First Prize in […]

Virtual reality and ICG revolutionize pediatric neuroblastoma surgery, according to a new study from Printmed-3D and Buzzi Hospital.

We are pleased to announce the online publication in European Journal of Pediatric Surgery Reports of a new study resulting from a collaboration between Printmed 3D (https://printmed-3d.com) and the Pediatric Surgery Unit at Buzzi Children’s Hospital, Milan. “Advancing Neuroblastoma Surgery Through the Clinical Integration of Virtual Reality (VR) and Indocyanine Green (ICG) Fluorescence-Guided Imaging: A […]

3D Surgical Simulation: A Haptic Prototype Revolutionizes Vascular Surgery at Niguarda

On July 1st, 2025, a prototype of a haptic simulator designed and developed by PRINTMED 3D  was used for the first time in a simulated procedure involving a Physician-Modified Endograft (PMEG) at the Vascular Surgery Unit of the ASST Grande Ospedale Metropolitano Niguarda, led by Dr. Valerio Tolva. This technique, still under development both clinically […]

3D Printing of Organs and Tissues: Medicine is Personalized

Virtual Reality, 3D printing of tissues and organs, and intelligent fluidics allow doctors to practice on models with characteristics identical to real ones, improving diagnosis, clinical procedures, and surgical operations. These are the technological innovations introduced by the PRINTMED-3D project, one of the 33 winners of the Call Hub Research and Innovation competition launched by […]

Virtual reality, 3D printing and health for increasingly personalised medicine

Imagine that you know a person with a disease of the liver or another organ. Imagine that there is the possibility of creating in the laboratory a model of an organ with all the features of the diseased one. Imagine now that doctors could test a surgical procedure on that model and verify its effectiveness […]

3D Model of the Liver with Intraparenchymal Vascular Structures

The 3D printing process included several steps: · 3D reconstruction based on CT scans · Digital preparation of the virtual model · 3D printing of the intraparenchymal vasculature and hepatic parenchyma The use of innovative developed materials specifically designed for printing anatomical structures with different morphological and mechanical characteristics has enabled the simulation of tactile […]
