Unidad de Planificación Avanzada y Manufactura 3D Hospital Gregorio Marañón

What Unidad de Planificación Avanzada y Manufactura 3D Hospital Gregorio Marañón does

UPAM3D (Unidad de Planificación Avanzada y Manufactura 3D) is a multidisciplinary advanced planning and point-of-care 3D manufacturing unit embedded within Hospital General Universitario Gregorio Marañón in Madrid, operating as a public healthcare entity under the Comunidad de Madrid healthcare system. The unit provides three integrated service lines: 3D printing of anatomical biomodels and bioreplicas from patient radiological studies (CT, MRI); advanced 3D diagnostic and therapeutic planning using medical image segmentation and digital twin reconstruction; and design and fabrication of custom medical devices (PSM) including patient-specific surgical guides (Class IIa) and personalized titanium, PEEK, and other biomedical implants (Class IIb and III). It also offers augmented and mixed reality intraoperative navigation services for complex procedures.

The underlying technology platform spans FDM, SLA, and SLM 3D printing technologies, medical image segmentation, virtual surgical planning, and AR-based navigation, supported by ISO 13485:2018 quality certification and a Comunidad de Madrid manufacturer license (granted 2020, expanded 2023). The unit operates the world's first hybrid operating room combining hybrid imaging with 3D printing, and runs an external engineering partner ecosystem (including Cella Medical Solutions) for high-complexity implants under its quality system. Cumulative clinical output exceeds 1,000 cases since 2015 across vascular, orthopedic oncology, maxillofacial, pediatric, cardiac, thoracic, and plastic surgery specialties, with weekly case publications on the Comunidad de Madrid website.

Commercially, UPAM3D does not generate external revenue in the conventional sense. It is funded entirely through the Madrid public healthcare system and provides 3D planning and manufacturing services to hospital patients as part of public coverage with no direct patient billing. Its GTM is internal: referrals from clinical services within Hospital Gregorio Marañón plus external patient referrals via CSUR reference unit pathways. Marketing is limited to weekly case publications, government press coverage, and academic outputs. The unit's value capture is therefore institutional (reputation, reference status, scale of clinical impact) rather than financial.
