Hungarian professionals reform veterinary medicine with 3D printing
We appeared on the columns of HVG: Professionals want to introduce a method into veterinarian medicine which is already used in human medicine: Making use of 3D printing, implants would be created which are customised to the animals’ unique anatomy.
A Hungarian team with veterinarian and engineering background creates anatomical models, drilling guides and implants by means of 3D modelling. Similarly to human medicine, they want to introduce personalised veterinarian medicine with the help of digital design and 3D printing.

Virág’s background story
Virág is a Yorkshire terrier who spent her days at a shelter (hosted by Állat és Ember Állatvédő Egyesület \[“Animal and Human” Animal Protection Association]). She could not use her left hind leg due to a congenital disorder. Doctor Seregi, one of the owners of FuzioVet Animal Hospital, was the orthopaedist at the shelter. That is how he met Virág and tried to find a solution to her problem.
