3D Printing Models for Medical Applications

Our lab collaborates with physicians and researchers from across the UW campus to create models for surgical planning, research experiments, and device development. Current capabilities include additive manufacturing with stereolithography, fused deposition modeling, and selective laser sintering technologies. Some examples of models that we create are shown below.
