Ricoh Launches Ricoh 3D for Healthcare

Ricoh, and more specifically Ricoh USA, Inc., report establishment of a new company, Ricoh 3D for Healthcare, LLC (Ricoh 3D for Healthcare), dedicated to accelerating adoption of FDA-cleared, patient-specific medical devices. Ricoh reports.

The new company reportedly plans to provide greater agility to address growth in the medical device sector, to focus on the personalized needs of clinical customers, and help drive regulatory guidance and standardization.

“The establishment of Ricoh 3D for Healthcare is the natural next step in the evolution of a business Ricoh has been incubating for five years,” says Gary Turner, vice president and general manager, Ricoh 3D for Healthcare. “As we rapidly scale and enter an accelerated growth phase of the business, it is essential that we have the right structure in place to realize and maximize the potential that Ricoh has envisioned for this business from the beginning.”

Ricoh 3D for Healthcare delivers a continuum of patient-specific solutions—from FDA (Food and Drug Administration)-cleared anatomic models to on-site, point-of-care manufacturing studios that facilitate hospitals’ ability to have regulated devices manufactured within their facilities.

Ricoh 3D for Healthcare collaborates with up-and-coming medical technology innovators to manufacture and distribute patient-specific devices nationwide. 

“Ricoh 3D for Healthcare is a pioneer in this industry. An example is our point-of-care 3D medical device manufacturing facility at Atrium Health, which gives clinicians immediate access to 3D printed anatomic models and support,” says Turner.
