Among the many printers offered by the American manufacturer Stratasys, many are intended for the health sector. And among these different machines, we find the J850 Digital Anatomy. Improved version of the J750 Digital Anatomy, it is also intended to accompany the health professionals. According to the manufacturer, the machine would be able to reproduce very accurately the behavior of human tissues on medical models, allowing the user to focus on specific pathologies, to obtain a real sensation and to design even more realistic anatomical models.
Features of the J850 Digital Anatomy
With a printing volume of 490 x 390 x 200 mm, the 3D printer makes it possible to obtain the most coherent and accurate representation of the targeted pathology. It offers, for example, the possibility of reproducing cardiac structures, blood vessels, musculoskeletal areas, but also of simulating the response of real organ tissues. All these possibilities allow practitioners to realize several applications. For example, they are able to observe the precise biomechanical behavior associated with age, gender, ethnicity and other pathological and physiological characteristics or to precisely examine bone joints with variations in spongy and cortical density.
Compatible with a wide range of thermoplastics, both soft and standard, the Digital Anatomy range of materials enables the 3D printing of fully customized medical models to achieve realistic anatomy to the eye and to the touch. Finally, like the majority of Stratasys’ 3D printers, the machine is compatible with GrabCAD software.
