More about axial 3D and their work
axial3D is changing the digitisation of the healthcare industry with machine learning enabled solutions to prepare data for medical printing. With the development of targeted, anatomically specific computer vision algorithms to drive standardisation of image segmentation, axial3D helps to improve the accuracy of 3D prints, and ultimately to increase the market adoption of medical printing. axial3D’s vision is for “every healthcare provider to have fast and easy access to expert medical 3D printing that improves surgical outcomes for patients.”
Machine Intelligence Garage provides axial3D with access to on-demand cloud compute resources and the latest GPU technology. This resource allows axial3D to rapidly iterate on its machine learning training and increase the data throughput. Digital Catapult also recently invited axial3D to SXSW to present a patient case with a surgeon who uses axial3D for planning complex cases. Giving axial3D a platform to share its story with hundreds of people.
