Blair Kauzlarich, B.S., ARRT (R) CI, is the Administrator of the 3D Printing and Training Center at Clarkson College. Her career background started in 2012 as a radiographer at Children’s Hospital and Medical Center in Omaha, NE. In 2015, she became ARRT board certified in Cardiac Intervention and began a journey in the Cardiac Catheterization Lab at Children’s Hospital. During her 5 years in the cardiac catheterization lab, she found her love for 3D printing and 3D segmentation reconstructions. In 2020, she became an Advanced Imaging Specialist in the department within radiology called Advanced 3D Visualization Lab. She supported the entire hospital in all advanced imaging needs. She would post-process CT and MRI exams that warrant 3D images as well as post-process cardiac MRI for the cardiologists. 3D printing was also housed in the lab and was utilized for patient specific cases as well as research. More recently, she became the Administrator of the 3D Printing and Training Center at Clarkson College.
She helped implement the 3D Certificate curriculum and teaches the 3D certification course. After being hired in late April 2022, she and her team had the 3D Printing and Training Center up and running for business by July 2022. She oversees the lab, which consists of a team of individuals that help segment and design 3D prints and participates in research with collaborators. The lab currently offers 3D visualization and workshops to anyone within the medical field. The lab has several business clients and collaborations with other 3D printing labs--building a network to achieve more together, rather than individually. Blair actively serves on Clarkson College’s Interprofessional Education Committee. In 2022, she was a presenter at AM Medical Summit, presenting on “Patient Impact: Understanding the Perspective of those Benefiting from 3D Printing.” She is active advisor of the SME’s medical advisory board and an active member of the Radiologic Society of North America’s (RSNA) 3D Printing Special Interest Group (SIG).
