(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.\nThis press release features multimedia.

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.\n\nRicoh 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.\n\n“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.”\n\nRICOH 3D for Healthcare is currently available to providers in two d...
