Materialise is in the news yet again with a new innovation, just announced after a knee replacement surgery in Belgium was completed using Materialise technology which goes one step further in using 3D printing with X-rays--it actually turns X-rays into 3D-printed guides for pre-planning surgical procedures. Dr. Roger Jaeken was the orthopedic surgeon who completed this first surgery and was very excited to be of the development process. Materialise is right now just offering the 3D-printed guides on a limited basis in Europe. More details on this story can be found here: http://3dprint.com/16190/3d-print-knee-materialise/
