What happens when you take complex, flat 2D medical scans and transform them into highly accurate, tactile 3D models that surgeons can actually hold?

In this interview, Editor Oli Johnson sits down with [**Jacqui O’Connor**](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacqui-o-connor-a4b91166/?ref=med-techinsights.com), founder and CEO of [**MedScan 3D**](https://www.medscan3d.ie/?ppc%5Fkeyword=medscan%203d&gad%5Fsource=1&gad%5Fcampaignid=9092273221&gbraid=0AAAAADep0hAsh7CH3yla14VSqloFEqLip&gclid=Cj0KCQjwjvfSBhDpARIsAEiOpSvtBAuSZJ5dYWkyfXKKjNEcQx1h7uCYgKXVGs82eewmUPGE7IZSiPYaAvA%5FEALw%5FwcB&ref=med-techinsights.com) and winner of the Med-Tech Expo 2026 PITCH competition. Jacqui shares her journey from working as a surgical rep to pioneering complete turnkey anatomical modelling solutions for global medical device giants and clinicians.

Discover how highly specialised silicone is replacing rigid plastics to replicate the exact tactile feel of human tissue, why precise image segmentation is the “magic” phase of the pipeline, and how keeping manufacturing entirely in-house allows them to move faster than overseas competitors.
