Bristol 3D Medical Centre is a dedicated centre for in-house medical 3D design and 3D printing. It hosts a variety of medical device design software, state-of-the-art 3D printers, high-performance 3D surface scanners and advanced technology used to aid healthcare.
The human form in motion is the most challenging subject to capture and reconstruct in 3D accurately. Static 3D devices capture a single motionless scan. Synthetic data is generated, not captured. Parametric models are built on averages, not individuals. Sparse markers record points, not 3D dense surfaces. 2D photographs and video record flat images, not 3D shape. 3dMD captures and reconstructs progressive dense-surface 3D image sequences of Real-World 3D/4D Human performance with near ground truth 3D-shape accuracy.
For 25 years that foundation has supported the most demanding applications in healthcare, Computer Vision, AI and Machine Learning, humanoid robotics, wearable tech, human factors, ergonomics, and AR/VR. At its core, 3dMD is a software company. With more than 10,000 software-driven cameras deployed worldwide and hundreds of peer-reviewed research publications produced by the global 3dMD customer community, the Real-World 3dMD Human data advantage is not a claim. It is a proven track record.

Postoperative nasal stents significantly improve nasal tip projection and alar base support, with stented patients showing superior anteroposterior symmetry despite having more severe baseline cleft severity.
Three-dimensional facial soft tissue morphology was recorded in each of the 20 female subjects using a 3D surface imaging device (3dMDface System) before and after placement of the experimental canine at rest and in the three types of smiles.
