Advancing Point-of-Care Manufacturing Through Collaboration This milestone represents the culmination of a multi-year collaboration between 3D Systems and 3D MAC to advance additive manufacturing in clinical environments. The 3D Medical Applications Center, based at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, specializes in patient-specific anatomical models, surgical guides, and implants to support personalized care for service members and veterans. “We believe point-of-care manufacturing is transforming the future of healthcare by bringing personalized medical devices closer to the patient. Our unique collaborations with the U.S. Defense Health Agency and the Department of Veterans Affairs underscore our leadership in this space and reinforce our commitment to expanding this business as a long-term growth driver for 3D Systems." said Jeff Graves, President and CEO of 3D Systems. Throughout the engagement, 3D Systems worked closely with 3D MAC to establish a robust quality management system (QMS) and provided support across the full development lifecycle, from design and validation through regulatory submission. The FDA clearance of the Titanium Cranial Plate System marks 3D MAC’s first-ever FDA-cleared medical device. Enabling Regulatory Readiness and Clinical Innovation 3D Systems provided expertise in process controls, device design optimization, additive manufacturing workflows, and regulatory strategy to support 3D MAC in achieving premarket clearance. This collaboration enabled the transition from concept to an FDA-cleared implant manufactured at the point-of-care. Natalie Byrnes, Manager of Product Development - Patient Specific Medical Technology, 3D Systems said “This clearance underscores the power of combining clinical innovation with deep expertise in additive manufacturing and regulatory compliance. We are honored to help enable expanded access to personalized care delivered at the point of treatment.” Industry Leadership and Future Opportunities The clearance establishes multiple industry firsts, including the first FDA-cleared implant granted to a point-of-care institution and 3D MAC’s first FDA-cleared medical device. It reinforces 3D Systems’ leadership in enabling point-of-care manufacturing and highlights its ability to help healthcare institutions navigate the path from concept through regulatory clearance and commercialization. This achievement further strengthens 3D Systems’ relationships with the Defense Health Agency and the Department of Veterans Affairs and positions the company to support future initiatives in advanced, patient-specific medical manufacturing.
