3D Systems  has announced that the University Hospital of Salzburg (Austria) has applied the company's portfolio of point-of-care additive manufacturing technologies to design and produce its first 3D-printed PEEK cranial implant as a custom device for an individual patient need. These technologies were brought together by the hospital's in-house clinicians to successfully address the patient's needs. The hospital used Oqton's D2P software to create 3D models from the patient's CT images and Oqton's Geomagic Freeform to complete the design of the patient-specific occipital prosthesis.
