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.
