AP-HP platform
PRIM3D
3D modeling and printing for surgery, led by Prof. Roman Hossein Khonsari and Dr. Delphine Prieur, PhD, MBA, supported by Fondation AP-HP.
The platform
Design and additive manufacturing
Based at Hôpital Broussais (AP-HP), PRIM3D brings together 3D design workstations, image- capture tools (3D cameras), and a fleet of manufacturing machines (FDM, SLA, polyjet, silicone printers), operated by engineers specialized in 3D design and manufacturing, backed by AP-HP's vast data bank (medical imaging, photographs).
The platform designs and 3D-prints organ replicas to prepare for complex surgeries, training simulators for caregivers, and custom-made spare parts to repair obsolete medical equipment. It now extends beyond the hospital, selling prototypes internationally and opening up to startups and manufacturers.
