The integration of desktop manufacturing machines like 3D printers and WAZER CNC waterjets directly into hospitals, clinics, and rehab facilities has unlocked greater healthcare innovation.

These machines can produce anatomical models for preoperative planning, customized surgical guides based on body scans, parts designed to match body scans, dental prostheses from intraoral scans, and personalized surgical instruments tailored to surgeons’ specifications.

Read in Orthopedic Design & Technology magazine about how compact manufacturing technologies, such as digital water jets from WAZER, are revolutionizing the medical device manufacturing space.
