3D Modeling and Printing in Orthopedics

Includes a Live Web Event on 03/13/2025 at 8:00 PM (EDT)

Why are surgeons so excited about 3D printing? Is it the next step in your career and practice? This webinar will span from the basics of 3D printing to cutting-edge developments in veterinary orthopedics. This includes information on what cases should be considered and how to get started with 3D guides, to applications in arthrodesis and joint replacement by leaders in the field.
