US 3D printer manufacturer3D系统与人工智能（AI）医疗公司建立了合作伙伴关系Enhatch使患者特定的医疗设备的设计和交付更加有效。
通过合作伙伴关系，两家公司将结合各自的专业知识和技术，以创建优化，自动化和可扩展的工作流程，以制造医疗设备。
3D Systems医疗保健解决方案执行副总裁Menno Ellis表示：“我们与Enhatch的合作伙伴关系将使我们能够提供医疗保健行业最全面的方法。”“将这些技术和能力整合到3D系统的手术计划解决方案中，将使过程更加高效，可追踪和成本效益。
“这是我们对创新的持续承诺的又一步，可以帮助我们的客户保持医疗设备开发和医疗保健服务的最前沿。”
3D系统的VSP医疗投资组合
3D Systems的虚拟外科计划（VSP）是该公司临床产品，组合成像，仿真和3D打印的核心，以创建成熟的外科手术计划。该公司进行了‘strategic resizing’去年专注于其核心医疗和工业垂直领域，并在实现了A后扩大了医疗产品组合3D生物打印中的“突破”它的印刷到灌注平台。
Alongside its growing range of FDA-approved implants, 3D Systems’ VSP anatomical offerings have been deployed in more than 140,000 patient cases to date. The firm’sVSP骨科平台gained 510(k) clearance from theFDA在2019年，第二年的510（k）间隙被授予3D print maxillofacial surgical guides和公司的Vantage Ankle PSI surgical instrument.
In April last year, the company added anew hybrid maxillofacial surgical guideto its VSP portfolio, which reportedly combines the strength of titanium with the softness of nylon.
Accelerating 3D printed medical device delivery
Enhatch is building an AI-powered open portfolio of technologies designed to personalize and accelerate the entire surgical workflow, called the Intelligent Surgery Ecosystem. The technologies are engineered to streamline and scale the design and delivery of patient-specific medical devices by automating the process.
与3D系统的新合作伙伴关系将看到这些功能与打印机制造商针对患者特定医疗产品的工作流程集成在一起，其中包括高级软件，治疗计划服务，定制3D印刷植入物和手术仪器设计。
By combining Enhatch’s AI-driven surgical technologies with 3D System’s VSP workflow, the companies hope to reduce procedure times and improve surgical outcomes for craniomaxillofacial and orthopedic medical specialties. The combination will ultimately create an automated and scalable medical device 3D printing workflow to meet the ever-growing demand for personalized medical devices.
“Enhatch is proud to welcome 3D Systems to the Intelligent Surgery Ecosystem,” said Peter Verrilo, Co-founder and CEO of Enhatch. “Healthcare ecosystems have tremendous potential to disrupt and reshape the entire industry, leading to improved patient outcomes, faster, more accurate, and safer procedures.
“Enhatch and 3D Systems have a shared goal of bringing surgeons and industry together with the best leading-edge technologies available.”
调节3D打印的医疗设备
过去，有人打电话3D印刷医疗设备的更清晰法规以及制造商和监管机构之间的更清晰和合作。在去年年底，FDA发布了公开呼吁regulation of 3D printed medical devices对于一个框架，它正在设计以确保此类设备的质量。
除了3D Systems的VSP产品外，其他许多3D印刷医学应用程序已收到FDA许可，例如drug-loaded tablets,hearing aids,支持骨骼生长的植入物， 和proprietary resins for dental prosthetics. The FDA has alsogreen-lit full-scale facilities向医疗制造商提供3D打印服务。
