3D printing platform

Innovative technology for more precise and rapid care

The Caen Normandie University Hospital wishes to equip itself with a 3D printing platform to improve patient management. Thanks to this technology, surgeons can prepare their interventions with more precision , make tailor -made surgical guides and even quickly repair essential medical equipment .

The objective? Sure, better comfort for patients and faster care.

A project for today… and for tomorrow!

If this platform is first intended for ENT , it will benefit other medical specialties such as maxillofacial surgery, neurosurgery, etc.

With your help, we can make these advances accessible to a larger number of patients !

To finance this 3D printing platform, we must bring together € 60,000 . Each donation counts and brings us closer to this objective!

Concrete results for patients

💙 A patient with jaw cancer benefited from reconstruction with a surgical guide printed in 4 days , which has shortened the operating time and eases recovery .

💙 Medical equipment repaired in emergency thanks to the printing of a screw in 1:30 , avoiding the postponement of three operations scheduled the next day .

💙 A 2 -year -old child with a cervical tumor could be operated in better conditions thanks to a printed 3D model , which allowed surgeons to adapt their intervention upstream.

Soon, the creation of revolutionary absorbable implant will be possible at the CHU Caen Normandy thanks to this technology, particularly in nasal reconstruction.

We need you!

The development of a 3D printing platform at the CAEN CHU represents an essential advance. It will benefit all services, patients and caregivers . Its use will in particular improve patient management.

Anticipate and prepare operations

3D printing allows you to create precise anatomical models from patient scanners. This helps surgeons better visualize the areas to operate and prepare their actions upstream.

Make medical parts quickly

In the event of an essential device, 3D printing makes it possible to make a replacement part in a few hours, thus avoiding delays and cancellations of operations.

Create tailor -made surgical guides

These 3D printed guides help surgeons to make their gestures with even more precision, reducing risks and improving patient recovery.
