Over time, the use of 3D printing has become increasingly widespread in the medical field. From 3D-printed medication to bioprinting platform installations, hospitals are adopting this technology for a variety of applications, including optimizing the duration and precision of surgical procedures. Recently, Nanavati Max Super Speciality Hospital in Mumbai, India, opened a medical 3D printing laboratory with the aim of doing just this. The facility offers a range of medical specialties, such as cardiology, neurology, orthopedics and oncology. By using 3D printing technologies, the facility hopes to be able to facilitate high-precision surgeries, especially in oncology.
The 3D printing laboratory in question is equipped with two high-performance printers dedicated to the creation of bone models, offering an improved approach to the study of anatomy and complex pathologies. It can also produce cutting guides that simplify the planning and precise execution of bone cancer procedures. These guides, essential in surgery, play a crucial role in guiding the surgeon throughout the operation.

The project is led by Dr. Manish Agarwal, Director of the Surgical Oncology Section at the Nanavati Max Institute of Cancer Care. In this laboratory, a team of bioengineers ensures rapid production of bone models and cutting guides. Previously, these indispensable tools could take up to two weeks to manufacture, but now they are ready for the surgical team within 24 to 48 hours.
