Segment 3DPrint
Overview
Segment 3DPrint by Medviso AB is a clinical software solution designed to convert DICOM medical imaging into high-quality anatomical models for 3D printing, virtual reality, and treatment planning. It serves as a diagnostic and surgical planning support tool for clinicians across pediatric and adult populations.
The software is primarily utilized by medical specialists in the following fields:
- Orthopedics: For bone segmentation, bone splitting, and joint modeling.
- Maxillofacial Surgery: For mandible, teeth, and orbital reconstructions.
- Cardiovascular Medicine: For modeling complex cardiac structures and congenital heart conditions.
In a clinical or Point-of-Care (PoC) workflow, Segment 3DPrint integrates directly with hospital PACS and local databases. It streamlines the transition from raw CT or MRI scans to printable files through a guided, step-by-step segmentation process. The platform features built-in quality assurance (QA) wizards with customizable steps to support quality management system (QMS) compliance in hospital-based printing labs.
Notable capabilities include:
- AI-Driven Segmentation: Automated tools for isolating bones, vessels, lungs, trachea, and dental structures.
- Advanced Mesh Editing: Tools for generating surface meshes, lattices, honeycombs, and support structures directly within the application.
- Image Fusion: A dedicated module to register and align MR and CT datasets.
- Print Optimization: Features for adding quality control markers, adjusting printer bounding boxes, and detecting cupping.

What Physicians Need to Know
Leverage the AI-powered segmentation for rapid generation of anatomical models, particularly for bones, to significantly reduce preparation time for 3D printing or virtual planning. Utilize the fusion module to combine CT and MR images, providing a more comprehensive anatomical understanding for complex cases, especially when assessing both bone and soft tissue pathologies. Take advantage of the built-in QA wizard and advanced reporting features to ensure quality control and generate detailed documentation for 3D models, which is crucial for clinical and regulatory compliance. Consider the software for a broad range of clinical applications, including orthopaedic, maxillofacial, and cardiovascular cases, for both pediatric and adult populations. For optimal image quality, follow imaging recommendations such as isotropic resolution (u22640.5 mm recommended) and using soft kernels for CT bone/vessel models, and MRI for tumors.
Segment 3DPrint supports DICOM standard for image import from scanners or PACS systems, facilitating integration into existing radiology workflows. The software offers PACS connectivity, allowing for direct import of studies and the potential to store analysis results back into PACS, enhancing data management. While PACS integration is available, Medviso's instructions for use suggest that installing DICOM servers and PACS connection is not always recommended unless required, implying a flexible setup that can be standalone or integrated. The Segment Server module and an external PACS integration (SegmentAPI.exe) are available for more robust PACS communication, requiring collaboration with Medviso personnel for configuration. Output is in high-quality STL or OBJ files, ready for direct use with 3D printers and virtual reality platforms.
