Join us for Limbitless Solutions (Webinar) on Thursday, May 27 at 7 PM.

Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, is beginning to transform the biomedical landscape as personalized medicine becomes more widely available. From 3D printing bionic arms to custom heart stents, Orlando has a thriving advanced biomedical community. The ability to rapid prototype in-house is affording hospitals the opportunity to produce custom tools for supporting surgery – even visualizing complex surgeries by printing in full color patient-specific body representations for advanced laparoscopic surgery. In this program, Dr. Albert Manero from Limbitless Solutions, known for their 3D printed bionic limbs, will share a behind-the-scenes look at their laboratory and highlight how 3D printing is changing the medical landscape.

By participating in this program, you can expect to learn:

  • what 3D printing is;
  • three ways 3D printing is transforming innovation;
  • how to get started 3D printing at home or in your community.

This program is presented by Dr. Albert Manero and is hosted by the Winter Park Health Foundation.
