The Belgian medtech company 3D-Side addresses the need of surgeons, inside the operating theater, to be able to perform complex interventions with patient-specific instruments or custom implants.
To achieve this goal, the UCLouvain university spin-off fas developed a web-based SaaS integrated platform combining design, communications and production management tools, bringing 3D software and additive manufacturing technologies closer to the surgeons, including inside the operating room, allowing for hi-precision personalised surgery.

Cerhum is a Liège-based company specialized in 3D printing of synthetic grafts for companies or directly for patients. It was created by Gregory Nolens, a biomedical engineer with extensive experience in 3D printing. Cerhum is equipped with a technology allowing to print ceramics. The challenge for the company lies in the production time of the grafts which can be relatively long since each piece is unique and completely personalized. Cerhum decided to work with 3DSide's Customize platform which allows them to shorten production time and to benefit from a privileged communication channel with the surgeons.
