As we know, 3D printing has profoundly transformed the medical field, making it possible to produce customized models ranging from anatomical replicas to fully patient-specific implants. This is where the young startup Simpath comes in. Since its founding in 2023, the company has been developing realistic 3D models dedicated to anesthesia and respiratory medicine. Using advanced 3D printing technology, Simpath produces highly detailed anatomical structures with strong potential to improve medical simulation, training, and the development of new devices. In an interview with the Simpath team, we learned how these models could help shape the future of medicine, as well as the process behind the additive manufacturing of tracheal models.
3DN: Could you introduce yourself and tell us about your beginnings in 3D printing? How did Simpath come to be?
