Get in touch with us nowAccording to a study of the use of 3D-printed guides in surgery, there was huge potential for cost savings for hospitals and healthcare providers. The mean cost of surgery was calculated to be 83 U.S. dollars per minute (as of 2019), meaning that using a 3D printed anatomic model which cuts 62 minutes from the mean operating room time, over 5,100 U.S. dollars could be saved. At the maximum valued figure from surgery, a 3D-printed anatomic model could save over 11,000 U.S. dollars per surgery.
