3DHEALS Instagram Live Recording: Dental 3D Printing with Innov3D Founder Dr. Mayra Vasques
A picture is worth a thousand words. We had the pleasure to interview Dr. Mayra Vasques, founder of Innov3D, an educator, and a passionate technologist for the adoption of dental 3D printing. In this episode, we focused on an application that inspired her journey: a 3D printed nightguard, which was also relevant to her Ph.D. thesis. We also answered live audience questions, including how the adoption differs between small and large dental labs. Dr. Vasques reveals some facts not commonly known to the public.
3DHEALS IG Live: William Harley, Healthcare 3D Printing Ecosystem in Melbourne (Recording)
What is the Australian and Melbourne healthcare 3D Printing/ Bioprinting ecosystem like? Look no further than our Melbourne community manager William Harley, who not only has been keeping a close eye on local trends and happenings but also has a deep understanding of the scientific aspects of the development. In this episode, we learned a little about Bill's research on acoustic assisted bioprinting, local leaders on the commercial side of healthcare 3D printing, and major funding entities. Of course, we also highlighted the upcoming Melbourne virtual event and How he picked speakers for this event. (Free event, almost sold out.) During the live Q&A session, we talked a little about getting a Ph.D. and being a scientist.
3DHEALS IG Live Recordings: 3D Printing in Veterinary Medicine with Richard Doerer
Richard Doerer, founder of Modl3DVet, also a 25 year veteran in 3D printing shared his recent works and vision for the future veterinary medicine 3D printing market with Jenny Chen. Ranging from anatomical surgical model, military/police dog training device, to educational tools, Richard showed us a new burgeoning market that has been accelerated since the pandemic. Many questions are still unanswered, and he highlighted the importance of the upcoming 3DHEALS March virtual event: https://3d-heals.com/3d-printing-in-veterinary-practice (Registration to this live webinar is free by the way).
Newborns, Warriors, Unicorns, Winners: Commercialization of Healthcare 3D Printing In 2020
Successful commercialization of healthcare 3D printing applications to improve human lives is not only the driving force behind startup founders but is becoming a reality with more market maturity. Over the past several years of Pitch 3D events, it is my observation that startups in healthcare 3D printing, bioprinting, and related 3D technologies are becoming more mature and more “fundable”. This trend is likely a result of the continued growth of the overall 3D printing industry and healthcare technologies, as well as a more mature ecosystem that can support entrepreneurs. In this post, I will provide some reviews and updates of the public 3D printing companies as well as updates from past Pitch 3D companies. Just for fun, I have grouped these companies into four categories: winners, unicorns, newborns, and warriors.
Financial Issues of 3D Printing in Hospitals - Guide 4/5
In the previous section of this guide, we went in-depth about the tactical issues surrounding 3D printing in hospitals, which include an array of contributory elements ranging from talent allocation, hardware/software selection, to material management. In this section of the guide, I will focus on the financial issues of 3D printing in hospitals. To review, financial issues answer the question of “how much”. In the healthcare arena, it includes a discussion of “reimbursements“. Doing business in healthcare is not a straightforward “profit-and-loss” spreadsheet. The reimbursement pathway of emerging technology is tortuous, and the pricing strategy of devices and services is even more opaque to most.
Materials for Metal 3D Printing Implants
Morphology and composition have a direct effect on the final implant microstructure. The microstructure has great importance in the implant strength. The smaller the material crystals are, the more grains there are, and consequently more internal boundaries. Internal boundaries lead to bigger resistance to the atom’s mobility, which is related to strength When material failures, normally happen by cracking, cracks are generally initiated by irregular pores, rounded pores usually do not initiate cracks, so control feedstock is mandatory to control the process-induced porosity and cracking.
