Drs. Stan Kim and Adam Biedzyrcki.
Dr. Stan Kim and Dr. Adam Biedzyrcki are shown in front of computer monitors that display images of bones generated by special software associated with 3-D printing technology. The two say pre-planning surgeries of both small and large animals through the use of the software and printed surgical guides helps them reduce risk in complicated surgical procedures. They also say the technology has great potential for advances in veterinary medical teaching and research. (Photo by Mindy Miller)
