MINNEAPOLIS & REHOVOT, Israel–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Stratasys
(NASDAQ: SSYS), a global leader in applied additive technology
solutions, today announced the company is further advancing the impact
and use of 3D printing in medical modeling by signing an agreement with
Philips. The agreement includes virtually seamless interfacing and
dedicated workflows across Philips IntelliSpace Portal 10 and Stratasys
Direct Manufacturing's parts-on-demand service – allowing a broader
range of medical professionals to improve training, research and
surgical planning through 3D printing.

By interfacing with Stratasys Direct Manufacturing, Philips clinical
informatics and data management customers can rapidly design, order, and
produce 3D printed anatomical structures on-demand. With dramatic
realism enabled by Stratasys' unique PolyJet-based full-color,
multi-material 3D printing solutions, advanced modeling enables medical
professionals to innovate and evolve their healthcare strategies.

Built directly from patient scans, these realistic anatomical creations
are 3D printed in full color and in a range of textures – from hard bone
to soft tissue. The resulting models allow physicians to plan, practice
and determine therapy approaches. Each prototype is designed to help
advance surgical techniques and allow for training and testing in
zero-risk environments.

"Stratasys is committed to opening new doors for practitioners to
prepare for procedures by opening data communication from the
hospital-based imaging systems to the 3D printing products and services
used to provide patient-specific modeling," said Scott Rader, GM of
Healthcare Solutions at Stratasys. "Philips customers can now add the
impact and value of 3D printing to their IntelliSpace environments to
accelerate efficiencies and advance innovation."

Stratasys is exclusively demonstrating the offering at RSNA 2017 – the
103rd Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting of the
Radiological Society of North America, November 26 – December 1 at
McCormick Place in Chicago. Stratasys will showcase the streamlined
workflow as well as a range of clinically impactful models 3D printed on
standard-setting Stratasys PolyJet 3D printing solutions.

"Our interfacing with Philips IntelliSpace Portal 10 is designed to make
it faster for doctors and their patients to receive customized,
pre-surgical models," said Greg Reynolds, VP of Additive Manufacturing
at Stratasys Direct Manufacturing.

booth in North Hall B, No. 7565 at RSNA 2017.
