VinUni and Vinmec Partner with Stratasys – Equipping Future Doctors with Cutting-Edge 3D Printing Technology

On September 11, 2025, VinUni and Vinmec officially signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Stratasys – a global leader in 3D printing technology – opening a new era of 3D technology applications in education, research, and healthcare in Vietnam. With more than 30 years of experience, Stratasys is recognized as a global “giant” in the 3D printing industry, providing solutions for healthcare, education, aerospace, automotive, and many other fields. This strategic move demonstrates VinUni’s commitment to pioneering the integration of advanced technology into training and research, thereby enhancing the quality of medical education and preparing a solid foundation for future doctors. 

3D Printing in Medicine – An Inevitable Leap for Modern Healthcare 

3D printing is a method of creating three-dimensional objects from digital data by layering materials. In medicine, this technology has unlocked many advanced applications: highly accurate anatomical simulations, the production of models for training and clinical simulation, the manufacturing of personalized medical devices such as artificial joints and customized surgical tools, and even the development of biological tissues and organs. 

With 3D printing, doctors can practice procedures before surgery, design more precise treatment plans, reduce risks, and improve healthcare outcomes. It is considered one of the key technologies driving “personalized medicine” – a global trend where each patient receives tailored treatment based on their unique characteristics. 

Collaboration Details and Strategic Significance 

The signing ceremony was attended by leading figures, including Prof. Michelle Hermiston – Dean of the College of Health Sciences, VinUni; Prof. Dr. Tran Trung Dung – CEO of Vinmec Healthcare System; Mr. Rajiv Bajaj – Managing Director of Stratasys India and Southeast Asia; along with many other leading medical experts. 

According to the MOU, Stratasys – the world’s leading 3D printing corporation – will collaborate with VinUni and Vinmec to enhance the expertise of engineers and doctors through high-quality training programs in Germany and India, ensuring the highest standards for 3D printed products. At the same time, the parties will jointly develop and manufacture 3D-printed medical devices and simulation models for teaching, residency training, and scientific research. 

Speaking at the event, Prof. Michelle Hermiston – Dean of the College of Health Sciences, VinUni – emphasized: “This signing marks a significant milestone in preparing the next generation of doctors and medical researchers in Vietnam to access the most advanced 3D technology in the world.” 

Prof. Dr. Tran Trung Dung – CEO of Vinmec Healthcare System – said: “We are proud to be among the pioneers in applying 3D printing technology to training and treatment in Vietnam. Our collaboration with Stratasys will strengthen Vinmec’s professional capabilities while bringing modern, precise, and safer healthcare experiences to the community.” 

Mr. Rajiv Bajaj – Managing Director of Stratasys India and Southeast Asia – affirmed: “We are delighted to partner with Vinmec and VinUni to promote the application of 3D printing in Vietnam’s healthcare sector, contributing to improved medical training and community healthcare.” 

The MOU signing between VinUni, Vinmec, and Stratasys is not only a strategic collaboration but also a testament to the pioneering vision and aspiration for medical innovation in Vietnam. Through this partnership, VinUni affirms its leading role in training, research, and applying modern medical technology, contributing to enhanced education, research, and healthcare quality – bringing Vietnamese medicine into a promising 3D era.
