PLAN3D in the media: a multiplying story

During the last few weeks, PLAN3D has been featured in different media that have highlighted its work, its collaboration with academic institutions and its growth beyond Chilean borders. Each publication has not only narrated a specific advance or product, but has also contributed to build a collective portrait of the path taken by this medical simulation company born in Valparaiso.

What the media have said

Emol (El Mercurio) highlighted the development of an arm simulator with hyper-realistic blood vessels, capable of withstanding more than 2,400 punctures and validated by the Simulation Hospital of the Universidad Andrés Bello. The article highlights the collaboration between academia and entrepreneurship, as well as the international expansion to universities such as Columbia and the University of South Florida.

La Tercera covered the origins of PLAN3D as a small digital laboratory founded by two designers, which evolved into a company that today produces limbs, organs and simulators for clinical practices using 3D printing. The media highlights its presence in America and Europe, a catalog of 26 products and its impact on the training of health professionals.

In Descubre.vc, the publication “Plan 3D expands medical simulators to global universities” highlighted the company’s participation in the Osaka 2025 World Expo, where it presented its VeniFit device, validated together with the Universidad Andrés Bello. The article emphasizes the technical quality of the simulator -more than 2,400 punctures, tactile realism and blood reflux- and its international scope.

In Noticias UNAB, the article “Innovative clinical simulation tool made by Chilean startup launched at UNAB” praised the joint work between the university and PLAN3D, highlighting that VeniFit can be integrated into the arm of a phantom or simulated patient, and that its design allows realistic and repeatable training.

El Mostrador, in its article “From Chile to the world: hyper-realistic arm simulator allows training in medical procedures”, highlighted the precision with which the device reproduces texture, thickness and blood flow, considering it a milestone in Chilean innovation exhibited at Expo Osaka 2025.

More than appearances: shared recognition

For PLAN3D, appearing in the media is not only a form of visibility: it is a way of recognizing the joint work behind each development. Each article reflects the commitment of the team, the trust of the institutions that validate the products and the response of an educational community looking for more realistic and accessible tools.

These mentions are not sought after: they are built with years of constant work, collaboration and a vision that connects technological innovation with the educational purpose. The fact that different media have told our story from their own point of view is, for us, a sign that the path we have taken is leaving its mark.

Looking ahead

The presence of PLAN3D in media such as Emol, La Tercera, El Mostrador, Noticias UNAB and Descubre.vc represents more than coverage: it is a confirmation that Chilean medical simulation has a place in the global conversation about innovation and training in healthcare.

Each note is a window that connects us with new audiences, institutions and allies. And behind each one there is a shared story: that of a team that continues to bet on making the simulation an increasingly real, inclusive and human space.
