VR Campus – accessible from UPMS & UPFEIT
During the virtual campus project, the UP-3D Centre engineers modelled the University of Pécs Campus and made different university facilities accessible. The entire Medical School and the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology campus can be visited in VR with Oculus Rift and demonstration classes are also available for visitors. The Aula of UPMS can be accessed in browsers, from desktops and in VR environments, and all exhibitions are regularly updated and can be viewed online.

Cooling Plate
We were commissioned to design a medical device, which was achieved by designing a closed cooling plate with the thinnest possible wall thickness, using the most extensive pipe system able to circulate cooling fluid inside, and it was produced with an SLA printer. Transparency was also a criterion to allow observation of the coolant flow, which was achieved with FormLabs’ transparent resin. The cooling plates function as accessories to a device for carrying out various biological experiments, so the design had to take into account the basic needs of the device for efficient operation.
Skull moulds
In surgical design, SLA technology is used to print the moulds required to make the skull implant from which the mould is made with precision at tenths of a millimetre.
Pet goggle design
The UP-3D Centre has designed pet goggles for experiments at the Institute of Physiology. The glasses, printed in flexible material using SLA technology, fit the actual head shape well and allow for easy replacement of lenses.

Reproduction of human organs using 3D printing
Reproduction of various human organs, mainly using SLS and SLA technologies, for surgical preparation or as an educational aid that facilitate preparing medical teams. The 3D models produced from medical imaging scans after segmentation result in tangible plastic models that, when held in the hand, clearly show the vast majority of changes and lesions.
Solar Decathlon 2019
SLS and FDM design and printing of the joint entry piece submitted by the University of Pécs, University of Miskolc and the Saad Dahlab Univerity of Blida, Algeria (USDB) for a university innovative building competition, which won 2nd place in the architectural category and 3rd place in the energy efficiency category.
Medical simulations bone
We can produce educational or custom bone simulations in small batches. The bones are made with a solid polyurethane surface and a rigid foam polyurethane interior, with a hollow core if required. We currently have moulds for bones of the upper arm, forearm, thigh and lower leg. On request, we can make silicone moulds based on segmented 3D models from physical samples, 3D scans or medical image samples, which can be used to mould 20-40 products.
Polyjet transparent head
Human head in 1:4 ratio with annotated nasal cavities, oral cavities and sinuses, made as an educational aid. The head is completely transparent, but the different organs are separated by different colours. A 3D scanned version of the customer’s own face was reproduced.
MiniMe
Nowadays, our own 3D-printed images have become trendy gifts. Couples, parents and grandparents are gifting each other with their own colourful 3D printed miniature models, called MiniMe. Featuring both handheld scanners that can perfectly digitise the human body and a PolyJet printer that prints in rainbow colours, the UP-3D Centre also allows customers to immortalise themselves for eternity in the form of small or large 3D printed sculptures.
Logos for fashion items
Brand logos printed on fashion items using Polyjet technology demonstrate the versatility of the machine and this technology.
Surgical suture pad
We regularly produce surgical suture pads using two-component silicone and fat tissue mimicking fillers. Students first use these to practice using surgical suture thread and various stitching techniques.
Bleeding skin
The UP-3D Centre also has a moulding workshop where we produce medical simulation, visualization and training devices or moulds using polyurethanes, silicone and synthetic resins on request.

Tensile testing of medical gloves
The UP-3D Centre has performed tensile testing of rubber gloves for medical use according to EN 455-2:2015 protocol. The customer provided 12 boxes of gloves from the same manufacturer in different colours and sizes. The gloves were non-sterile, latex-free, ambidextrous, disposable and powder-free. The test pieces were cut out of the gloves using a punching template with a geometry as described in the standard. The purpose of the material test was to examine the tensile strength and elongation parameters of the glove sets.
Scintigraphic model for UP MS Department of Biophysics
For this project, the aim was to create an artificial chest mounted on a box with a drawer. Small indentations and sockets created on the pull-out drawer plate are used for the random placement of radioactive preparations. A 3D-printed frame is placed over the chest, on which the detector can be placed in certain ‘slots’. Students use the equipment to measure the exact location of the preparations “invisibly”, using only the detector. The results are verified by means of the ‘slot detectors’, which are marked with numbers and letters.
3D printed diffusion cells for UP Faculty of Pharmacy
A diffúziós cella nevű eszköz működési elvének lényege az, hogy két áramló folyadéktömeget csak egy vékony membrán választ el egymástól. A membrán és a folyadékok tulajdonságainak függvényében szelektív diffúzió lép fel a két folyadéktér között, megvalósítva a szükséges részecske keveredést. A PTE 3D házon belül tervezett meg és gyártott le ilyen eszközöket a PTE GYTK számára meglévő hasonló eszközök tanulmányozása alapján.
Your Anastomosis
Partnership with ME3D - Graft Ltd. for the prototype development of the “YourAnastomosis” simulator and instruments product line. The product is a “vessel filling” device for the preparation of FEA analysis, capable of injecting polyurethane or resin into the inner lumen of simulated vessel sections, ensuring the subsequent use of an accurate impression. The UP-3D Centre also provided design services for the development of this product.
Various CAD-models
Experts at UP-3D Centre have created 3D models of a variety of medical technology and healthcare simulation devices using CAD processes. The Centre’s experienced engineering team is ready to provide accurate and efficient assistance at any stage of product design.

Prolimb Ltd. was established as a spin-off company of the University of Pécs following a venture capital investment. Its objective is to develop a highly functional, 3D printable and myoelectrically-controlled upper limb prosthesis.
Design and manufacture of prosthetic devices
The UP-3D Centre has designed and manufactured a myoelectric test prosthesis for the Institute of Behavioural Sciences. The project involved the development of a forearm-mounted gripping device to measure the cognitive capacity of prosthetic use in healthy people. Electrical signals from the forearm muscles control the device, which is driven by a servo motor and has custom-made 3D printed parts.
Lensless microscope design
