Tampa General Hospital and USF Health are scaling the use of 3D printed organ replicas for complex surgical planning. Physical models accurate to 0.01 inches allow surgeons to move beyond 2D scans to haptic rehearsal, reducing intraoperative surprises. This systemic shift can decrease operating room time by up to 20 percent in high-risk cases. As additive manufacturing scales, it transforms from a specialized innovation into a mandatory pillar of precision medicine. 🏥⚙️ #3DPrinting #HealthTech #MedTech #AdditiveManufacturing #Surgery
