3D printing is opening new doors of possibility in the design medical devices and the modification of existing devices. Leveraging the body's ability to heal and combining it with biocompatible materials, shapes and designs will make the next generation of medical devices a reality. Explore the ways in which 3D printing in the aerospace and automotive industries are now revolutionizing the design and manufacture of medical devices. Also included in this video is a showcase of sample devices.

The benefits of using both 3D Printing and Injection Molding – instead of choosing one – can help your team attain unmatched benefits in several areas: material usage, rapid prototyping, faster production, cost-effectiveness, and the manufacture of challenging part geometries. Andy Richardson, SVP Sales at Xcentric Mold & Engineering discusses the following topics: • The value of using each manufacturing method • Where in the product development cycle each is most effective • Limitations of using the wrong method at the wrong time • How to leverage the complementary aspects of these two manufacturing methods

Join 3D printing expert Amy Alexander as she showcases the use of AR and VR apps in Mayo Clinic’s Department of Radiology in their advanced anatomic modeling laboratory. Learn about the 510(k)-cleared applications, 3D surface scanners and 3D printers used by Mayo Clinic at the point of care. Amy also explores the manner in which radiological data like CT or MRI imaging can be segmented to isolate anatomies and pathologies of interest in order to achieve segmentation that can be converted into digital 3D mesh for display in VR or AR or for print via 3D technology. “Try-it-yourself” app download instructions are included in the presentation.

Explore the ways bioprinted materials, coupled with precision medicine are being used to tailor treatments which improve patient outcomes. The expert panel discuss how biomaterials play a key role in applications such as tissue engineering and repair, customized implants, drug delivery, and surgical aids. While additive manufacturing enables free‐form manufacturing and mass customization, it is also an enabling technology for the clinical implementation of the important precision biomaterials. Speakers: Omar Ford, Managing Editor, MD+DI Todd Astor, MD, Founder, Biomembretics Nicole Black, Vice President, Desktop Health Jennet Toyjanova, Director of Technical Innovation and Advanced Analytics, Ximedica
