Located at Booth 1314, 3DS will demonstrate how VSP® technology is quickly becoming the standard of care for orthognathic and reconstructive maxillofacial surgeries. The company invites attendees to experience in-booth live demonstrations of its virtual surgical planning process, a service-based approach to personalized surgery that combines medical imaging, surgical simulation and 3D printing into a state-of-the-art digital thread. VSP® utilizes medical image data to accurately plan surgeries in a computer environment and then transfers that virtual plan to the patient using 3D-printed, patient-specific instruments.

"Oral and maxillofacial surgeons across the country and around the world are embracing our VSP® technology to help plan and perform surgeries every day as part of a digital thread in personalized healthcare," stated Andy Christensen, Vice President of Personalized Surgery and Medical Devices, 3DS. "We've provided help on tens of thousands of patient cases through 3D printing-centric personalized surgery and patient-specific medical device solutions, and look forward to showcasing our innovative and pioneering solutions at the largest gathering of oral and maxillofacial surgeons in the U.S."
