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:
Surgeons at Mayo Clinic first started using 3D models in 2008 while planning an operation to separate conjoined twins. The success in the prints and in the operation meant that the Mayo Clinic became the go-to place for this kind of operation.
