Materialise, a 3D printing company with headquarters in Leuven, Belgium, announced this week that it has officially launched the Materialise Mimics Care Suite, a new printing software suite for hospitals.

The open-platform suite includes tools for planning and design and 3D printed anatomical models and surgical guides. It also includes Materialise Mimics inPrint, a new software product for surgeons that helps with the creation of accurate medical models.

“For more than 25 years, we at Materialise have been identifying meaningful applications of 3D printing and developing the backbone of software and solutions needed to successfully bring them to market,” Wilfried Vancraen, Materialise founder and CEO, said in a prepared statement. “We see incredible potential for 3D printing in hospitals, but have also recognized that many existing solutions have slowed adoption of the technology. Therefore, we have developed the Materialise Mimics Care Suite with the aim of helping hospitals better integrate 3D printing and begin unleashing the benefits it offers, which include potential cost savings and patient care improvement.”
