3Diamond aims to solve the product life cycle management issue of 3D printing facilitation in hospitals.
Definition:
Product lifecycle management is the process of managing a product’s lifecycle from idea, through design and manufacturing, service, and eventually retirement. As a technology, PLM software helps organizations to develop new products and bring them to market.
Highlights:
the trend may see a necessity for more 3D printing facilities in hospitals and places of healthcare.
a recent study into the costs versus benefits of introducing 3D printing technology into hospitals has shown that the technology can aid to solve complicated surgeries
3Diamond focuses on in-house 3Dprinitng lifecycle management in hospitals from the DICOM data up to follow-up
3Diamond facilitate a communication between biomedical engineers and surgeons
About project
3D printing in healthcare is one of the most promising way to boost new medical strategies in this field. Performing 3D print in-house solution brings increased. This is a logic step; however, the production methods and data management life-cycle system for healthcare providers is still missing. It is well known, that product lifecycle management (PLM) platform is useful for the organisation as a whole and is no longer limited to just the engineering and operations departments. For this reason, benefits can be found across the entire organisation. The aim of 3Diamond is to build a PLM platform for in-house 3D printing in healthcare.
