Day Zero of the TCT Asia Summit aims to give an overview of the best use cases for 3D printing in the major verticals. One of those verticals is in healthcare where we know 3D printing can have a huge impact on patient-specific cases. Jonathan Morris, a professor at Mayo Clinic, who specialises in medical modelling using a variety of 3D printing technologies, took to stage to demonstrate a wide variety of use cases.
During the talk we tweeted some of the highlights:

#3DPrinting is much better than 2D imagery thanks to it being life-size and the haptic feedback models give surgeons. pic.twitter.com/pTjdm0QZvS— TCT Magazine (@TheTCTMagazine) February 28, 2018
Imagery couldn't give the surgeons the realisation that a 3D printed model can give. For instance in this model the surgeons instantly realised their tubes wouldn't fit. pic.twitter.com/uiio2YLDj7— TCT Magazine (@TheTCTMagazine) February 28, 2018
