HOW IS 3D PRINTING REVOLUTIONISING HEALTHCARE?

Plastic has revolutionised industrial design. Medicine relies on plastic so heavily that even the most basic medical procedures would be unimaginable without it. Med3DP is building a digital library of low-cost medical equipment available for download for unlimited humanitarian use. Med3DP currently hosts a wide range of projects with ready-to-print files, documentation and other helpful information.

Each year a talented group of students in the MSc in Bioengineering programme brainstorm, prototype, and develop 3D printable medical devices for the initiative. Their goal is to help deliver sustainable, valuable healthcare in the most challenging situations to those who need it the most.

ABOUT

This initiative is part of the MSc in Bioengineering programme in the Trinity Centre for Biomedical Engineering at Trinity College Dublin. Each year a talented group of students brainstorm, prototype, and develop 3D printable medical devices that they share on www.med3dp.com website that they maintain. These students are mentored by bioengineering professors, Michael Monaghan and Conor Buckley.
