Jacobs Institute, Stratasys Partner

The Jacobs Institute has partnered with Stratasys to create a new Center of Excellence to advance 3D printing in a variety of medical applications.

According to a press release, the new COE will leverage Stratasys’ 3D printing technology to develop and test new medical devices using 3D printed prototypes and models and enrich clinical education and training activities for a variety of audiences. The COE will also serve as a referral center for hospitals and medical research organizations that are considering implementing 3D printing labs. Stratasys will also support the center through providing materials and 3D printing solutions.

“By partnering with Stratasys, the Jacobs Institute is bringing the leader in 3D printing to Buffalo to work closely with the JI and its partners, Kaleida Health and the University at Buffalo, to accelerate the development of new medical technologies,” said Bill Maggio, CEO of the Jacobs Institute. “Working together, the respective institutions will leverage their strengths to make an impact far greater than they could make individually.”
