D2P software creates patient-specific digital 3D models for precision healthcare applications, including virtual reality visualization 3D printing, surgical planning and CAD

ROCK HILL, South Carolina, March 1, 2017 – 3D Systems announced today the U.S. availability and FDA 510(K) clearance of its D2P™ software for healthcare applications. 3D Systems’ D2P software allows surgeons, radiologists, lab technicians and device designers, to quickly create accurate, digital 3D anatomical models from medical imaging data. These patient-specific models can be used for advanced visualization, 3D printing, surgical planning and CAD. Unlike other competing products, D2P combines automated segmentation, mesh editing, connectivity with third party applications, high-quality volume rendering and mesh coloring in a single, affordable package.

The advanced algorithms of 3D Systems’ D2P software allow users to quickly and accurately segment bone, vascular, teeth and heart data from medical imaging files. Combining this capability with the additional features embedded in D2P, a broad range of medical professionals can easily create digital 3D anatomical models within minutes without relying on third party software or external services, with output formats that support a range of advanced, patient-specific applications.

Vascular Institute. "This software is giving practicing physicians the self-sufficiency to generate 3D models exactly the way we want them so we can get the information we need."

"Our goal with D2P is to allow medical professionals to quickly create digital anatomical models on their desktops," said Kevin McAlea, EVP, General Manager, Metals & Healthcare, 3D Systems. “This represents a significant step forward for our end-to-end healthcare solutions, supporting the growth of 3D printed models and advanced surgical planning, including 3D printed guides and other instrumentation and patient-specific devices."

D2P is available within the U.S. and will be presented for the first time in Europe at the European Congress of Radiology Annual Meeting (ECR) in Vienna, Austria, March 1-5, booth X1/48. Other 3D Systems healthcare solutions will also be on display at ECR, including 3D printed anatomical models.
