At University of California, San Francisco, cutting-edge 3D+ technologies, including 3D printing and advanced visualization systems like augmented and virtual reality, are transforming the way we approach complex medical challenges. These tools are making it easier for families to understand medical conditions and helping providers plan the best possible care.
Since 2018, the Center for Advanced 3D+ Technologies has designed and printed over 700 patient-specific 3D models. From materials as soft as skin to those as rigid as bone, UCSF’s in-house 3D printers now produce sterilizable models that are safe for use in the operating room.
“3D+ technologies allow us to study the specifics of a patient’s body in a completely new, non-invasive way,” says Shafkat Anwar, MD, FSCMR, UCSF professor of pediatrics and radiology in the Division of Cardiology.
