February 20, 2018, Buffalo, New York – PostProcess announced today an agreement with the Johns Hopkins University’s Carnegie Center for Surgical Innovation to automate post-printing technologies for the center’s 3D printing facility.
Using 3D printing to put patient-specific organ models into the hands of surgeons, the Johns Hopkins facility has significantly decreased their overall cycle time and improved consistency with the PostProcess solution. Johns Hopkins’ 3D printing efforts extend beyond surgeon models to printing for teaching and education, engineering prototypes, custom printed lab devices, and patient education models.
Juan R. Garcia, MA, CCA, Associate Professor at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and Director of the Facial Prosthetics Clinic and of 3D Printing Services, worked with PostProcess to implement their DEMI 200. The DEMI 200 machine is used to remove support material from Polyjet parts in a compact bench-top footprint. The comprehensive PostProcess solution incorporates custom software, driving optimized agitation and energy delivery, and proprietary detergents formulated specifically for 3D printed materials to remove only the support structure and leave the build material in great condition.
