Materialise Mimics InPlast
The Medical 3D Printing and Planning Software.
Overview
Materialise Mimics InPlast is a comprehensive software solution for processing medical images like CT scans and MRIs to create highly accurate 3D models of a patient's anatomy. It is used for complex cranio-maxillofacial surgical planning, allowing surgeons to perform virtual osteotomies, design surgical guides and plates, and simulate post-operative results with bone-level accuracy. It's a powerful engineering tool applied to medicine.
✨ Key Features
- Medical image segmentation (DICOM to 3D)
- Virtual surgical planning and simulation
- Design of patient-specific implants and surgical guides
- Finite Element Analysis (FEA) preparation
- Accurate anatomical measurements
🎯 Key Differentiators
- Gold-standard for medical image segmentation
- Extensive toolset for engineering-grade analysis and design
- Strong integration with 3D printing workflows
Unique Value: Enables the highest level of precision in surgical planning by creating patient-specific 3D anatomical models from CT/MRI scans, leading to more predictable outcomes in complex reconstructive surgeries.
