3D Systems’ 3D Printed Maxillofacial Surgery Guides Cleared

3D Systems has received 510(k) clearance from the FDA for its custom 3D-printed maxillofacial surgical guides used in reconstructive surgeries.

The guides are printed for specific patients using the company’s Laserform TI and DuraForm ProX PA additive-printing materials.

Part of the company’s VSP system, the guides are developed in an online planning session between the surgeon and 3D Systems’ biomedical engineers.
