Structural Heart Research
Exploring how patient-specific 3D modeling and printing could transform structural heart device sizing and procedural planning — research that directly shaped the development of Mimics Enlight and established a new standard of care.
The Challenge
Structural heart interventions require precise device sizing — yet standard 2D imaging left clinicians guessing at anatomical dimensions. Suboptimal sizing carries serious clinical risk.
Research & Development
Translated patient imaging data into precise anatomical models using 3D printing. Validated sizing methodologies against clinical outcomes and developed standardized measurement workflows.
From Research to Product
Insights directly informed the development of Mimics Enlight — transitioning experimental workflows into a scalable digital planning platform.
Outcome
A patented product and validated clinical approach — establishing Mimics Enlight as a benchmark for structural heart planning.
