• 3D printing in a range of materialsPolymers, metals, biomaterials, cellular tissue, food.

• Rapid prototyping of BioModels, devices and prosthetics

• Complex and unique structures• Highly customisable and iterative to perfect

design• Less waste• Eliminates inventory• Reduces logistics• No need for factories

Advantages of ‘BioModelling’

3D PRINTING IS GLOBALLY DISRUPTIVE!

COMMUNITY BASED PERSONALISED HEALTHCARE

• Physician engagement in design and manufacture• Assistance in planning and execution of surgery• Surgical planning that optimises efficiency• Engagement of patients in their care and recovery• Hospitals that direct manufacture devices and

prosthetics• Reduction of the reliance on imported goods• Reduction of logisitics, storage and inventory• Locally generated intellectual property • Integration with local schools and universities

curriculum• Employment and research opportunities• Improved outcomes in a sustainable

ecosystem

WE MUST REGULATE THE PROCESS

BECAUSE We cannot regulate the

personalised device!

WE NEED!

‘Process based quality systems’ of the highest standard

Reimbursement for surgical planning and simulation

WHAT IS OUR MISSION? • We work to improve efficiency, reduce waste,

and create sustainable value based outcomes.

• We provide software and manufacturing architecture to deliver quality care for patients.

• We invite ideas and provide architecture to the schools, hospitals and universities that enable healthcare and creativity.

• We work with patients, government, and insurers to ensure that a cost effective and sustainable healthcare system is affordable and available to all people.

WHAT PART CAN YOU PLAY?• Component technologies that enable

the process• Contribution to a universal quality

system• Education and simulation• Innovative research and

development• Clinical trials of product• External validation• Intellectual property

THE FUTURE??
