Savings in surgery with 3D-printed guides, by specialty

The use of 3D printed anatomic models in orthopedics could save a hospital over 132 thousand U.S. dollars per year even at a low utilization rate at the mean cost of surgery of 62 U.S. dollars per minute. At a higher utilization rate of 20 percent, savings in this specialty could rise to 530 thousand U.S. dollars.
