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 […]
Inauguration of the New Paediatric Simulation Centre for Doctors and Nurses at Buzzi Children’s Hospital
On last Thursday 8th of May, we had the honour of attending the inauguration of the new simulation centre for nurses and doctors at Buzzi Hospital. It was an extraordinary experience that highlighted how technology has revolutionised medical training, providing innovative tools that reduce costs and enhance the effectiveness of clinical preparation. The centre hosts […]
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 […]
This is an example of a “wunderkammer” created from models generated through additive manufacturing for anatomical reproduction.
Various products obtained through different procedures and made from different 3D printing materials are showcased. The PRINTMED-3D project leverages a combination of additive technologies and new materials to achieve realistic anthropomorphic models. Come back to see new models
PRINTMED-3D is proud to collaborate with Professor Gloria Pelizzo and her team at Vittore Buzzi Pediatric Hospital.
The collaboration between PRINTMED-3D and Professor Gloria Pelizzo’s team at Vittore Buzzi Pediatric Hospital has enabled the use of Virtual Reality in the field of pediatric surgery, which is primarily focused on malformative conditions. The goal is to enhance the understanding of complex anatomical structures and assist in preoperative planning.
