Future surgeons will be able to print tutorials to work out surgical skills. The laboratory will also produce medical devices under the orders of practical healthcare. This will expand the opportunities for training specialists.

Director of the Institute of Fundamental Medicine of TMU Larisa Vikhareva spoke about the requests received. Applications for 3D modeling and the manufacture of prostheses have been received from practical healthcare specialists.

The capabilities of the laboratory allow you to create models of pathologies obtained from images of computer and magnetic resonance imaging. This is a personalized approach to treatment. It improves quality and accuracy in surgical interventions.

Doctors are interested in using the technology. A program of additional professional education is being developed to form skills in the laboratory. Doctors will be able to improve their qualifications in the field of 3D printing.

The university plans to cooperate with engineers from the Tyumen Industrial University. Larisa Vikhareva noted the great importance of the quality of the original 3D model. Intercollegiate interaction will gain full strength on the intercollegiate campus.

Such cooperation will reduce the time for creating models. The process of printing finished products will be accelerated. This will be an impetus to bring ready-made medical products to the market.^[1]
