Our 3D Printing Products

Thermal Fuse Cover

Our 3DP thermal fuse cover offers a safety device feature for at home oxygen delivery systems – preventing fatal burns and fires. FDA has now listed the product as a medical device.



GioStent

VHA created a personalized solution that improves hearing for a patient experiencing hearing loss without surgery. FDA granted compassionate use approval and product development is underway to produce a Class 1, 510(k) exempt device.

Radiotherapy Bolus

A bolus modulates therapy beam energy to improve dose delivery to cancerous tissues, particularly in complex facial areas (like the eyes, ears, and nose). Our 3DP product services Veterans with superficial facial malignancies who need rapid treatment.



OMF ASP Surgical Cutting Guides

The OroMaxilloFacial Advanced Surgical Planning (OMF ASP) System provides surgeons with a process to virtually pre-plan jaw reconstruction surgeries as well as create 3DP guides for intraoperative surgical guidance. This product will serve Veterans with cancers, chronic infections, or complex traumas. We are expecting clearance for market release in fall 2022.
