About Us

Our department is pioneering new ways to support surgical training and improve patient outcomes by transforming how surgeons prepare for complex procedures. Traditionally, surgeons have relied on cadavers or real patients to develop their skills, with limited opportunities to practice outside clinical settings.

Led by Senior Research Fellow Richard Arm, our team is revolutionising this process through advanced manufacturing and medical modelling. By converting patient scan data into highly realistic 3D‑printed organs that match the exact shape, size and tactile qualities of human tissue, we provide surgeons with an accurate, hands‑on platform for rehearsal. These innovations enable clinicians to refine techniques, anticipate challenges, and approach intricate or life‑saving surgeries with greater confidence and reduced risk.
