to point-of-care medical models for hospitals and clinicians
Stratasys Ltd. (NASDAQ: SSYS), a leader in polymer 3D printing
solutions, today announced a partnership with Ricoh USA, Inc. to
provide point-of-care anatomic modeling services to healthcare
facilities. RICOH 3D for Healthcare utilizes Stratasys 3D printing
technology as part of its solution to give more medical providers
and hospitals access to 3D printed, patient-specific anatomic
models.

RICOH 3D for Healthcare is an end-to-end workflow that
simplifies the development, design, and production of anatomic
models1 for healthcare providers. The solution increases medical
facility access to 3D printed medical models to help clinicians see
inside anatomy for greater visibility into patient needs and
reduces barriers to entry that healthcare providers encounter when
standing up a 3D printing facility. These include staffing issues,
training requirements, HIPAA, quality and IT compliance, as well as
budget constraints.
Ricoh uses the Stratasys J750 Digital Anatomy™ printer and the
Stratasys J5 MediJet™ 3D printer to create the models produced for
RICOH 3D for Healthcare. The printers create life-like anatomic
models that can reflect an individual patient’s pathology and be
physically manipulated like human tissue. Medical models allow
clinicians to deliver more personalized care through better
surgical preparation and patient education and can also be used for
medical training purposes.
“To date, access to anatomic models at point-of-care locations
has been limited to large hospitals and healthcare facilities,”
said Gary Turner, Managing Director, Ricoh 3D for Healthcare, Ricoh
USA, Inc. “Our cost-effective solution expands access for
healthcare providers of all sizes. By partnering with Stratasys,
through an integration with IBM Watson Health and our ongoing
commitment to innovation, we are able to provide these models to
any facility using IBM iConnect® Access.”
RICOH 3D for Healthcare is currently available to providers in
two different ways. First, a point-of-care option, which includes
having the Stratasys 3D printers coupled with Ricoh’s managed
services staff on-site to manage the entire process aligning with
Ricoh’s Quality Management System and good manufacturing practices.
Further, there is an on-demand option where providers can order and
have anatomic models 3D printed and shipped directly to them. Both
options are HIPAA compliant and easy for medical staff to use.
“Through our partnership with Ricoh we are giving healthcare
institutions the opportunity to access patient care tools that they
may not have previously had access to,” said Scott Drikakis,
Healthcare Segment Leader for Stratasys. “With Ricoh 3D for
Healthcare, providers can easily generate 3D printed models of
patient specific anatomy using state of the art technology through
an on-site managed services or on-demand part approach. This will
demonstrate the clinical and economic benefits of anatomic models,
while streamlining the historical challenges of establishing 3D
printing programs in hospitals.”
Attendees to the RSNA conference in Chicago Nov. 28 – Dec. 2 can
see the full anatomic model solution from IBM Watson Health, Ricoh
and Stratasys in the IBM Watson Health 3D Printing Imaging Showcase
in booth 8108.
Stratasys and Ricoh will continue to expand their partnership
and redefine how healthcare facilities access anatomic models for
personalized patient care. To learn more about Stratasys solutions
