3D Printing in Hospitals Forum 2022
3D technology has been transforming healthcare for over 20 years. It’s been used in applications from designing and producing personalized devices and guides, to planning complex clinical procedures, and training future medical professionals more effectively. And that’s just the start.
For our annual event, we are gathering the most inspirational minds working with 3D printing in hospitals. Join our in-person Europe and Middle East (EMEA) focused event for presentations, work sessions, networking opportunities, and much more!

Speakers
The most important takeaway is hearing about the diverse ways that patient care has been impacted in all different institutions and seeing the same similarities in how 3D printing can improve patient care. It really drives home that you can be your local champion — to go home and start using it to impact your local patients.
- Dr. Jonathan M. Morris, Anatomic Modeling Lab Director, Mayo Clinic
