We scan. We design. We print. We care.
Thank you to everyone who came to our 2019 3dMed Conference — it was an amazing event and we all had a wonderful time catching up with you all.
We haven’t had time to do a proper write-up but in the meantime you can read all about it here from our friends at Industry Website 3dPrint.com.
OK, we got completely sucked in by this Facebook Ad from The University of Melbourne, but it is for a good cause! The 3dMedLab at Austin headlines this promotion. Make sure you check it out — and if you want to learn more about studying health sciences including medicine at Unimelb then click here!

Despite the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Austin 3DMedLab has been beavering away on multiple fronts. You can read about our efforts in COVID-19 related 3D Printing in the following media articles:
It’s been a big month for 3dMedLab. Apart from presenting at multiple meetings recently, as well as organising our own — 3dMed 2019 Nov 15-16 at AAMI Park, in case you didn’t know — today was the official launch of the Australian Research Council Centre for Medical Implant Technologies, which we have conveniently abbreviated as ARC-CMIT.
This brings together 24 organisations across hospital clinicians, academics, and industry in order to develop an integrated framework for 3d printed prostheses, implants, and personalised surgical devices, including The University of Melbourne, Epworth Healthcare, Flinders University and Griffith University.
Austin Health 3dMedLab is proud to have been a key partner of this application from its inception and we will be delivering the key grass-roots clinical component of this centre, helping industry, academics, and engineers gain experience in and understand how this technology will function in a real-life, working hospital environment. Given the expertise that is in this research team, you would be hard pressed to find a problem we can’t solve if we put our collective minds to it!
Special thanks to Ali Moore for hosting this event and Katie Allen MP for visiting.
We are excited to announce that our joint submission to the Australian Research Council Industrial Transformation Training Centre Grant to build Australia’s Medical Implant and MedTech capacity using 3D Printing has been successful! This will allow us, together with The University of Melbourne, Flinders University, Griffith University and multiple other project partners to fund post-graduate students who will spend time engaging in university-based training as well as workplace-based training in clinical and industry settings.

In the lead-up to our presentations at the RACS Annual Scientific Congress #RACS18 we were interviewed by Georgia Main and Hope Wilson from Seven News Melbourne about our work in pre-surgical 3D printing. Our papers identified how medical 3D printing improves patient and carer understanding of their disease, leads to better satisfaction and engagement in medical care, assist surgeons to train for and plan complex surgery, and improve outcomes by reducing operating time, and blood loss.
Great to see our team featured like this — special thanks to Jas, Judy, Shanan and Nathan as well as Julia, David and Julie for working behind the scenes.
AMA Victoria members will be lucky enough to see a hard copy of our Medical 3D Printing article from Pursuit in their letterboxes shortly! We hope you enjoy your next edition of AMA VicDoc!
The latest issue of Health Voices from the Consumer Health Forum of Australia features the theme of “Medical Devices – Tragedy and Triumph“.
It explores the positive and negative impacts of novel medical devices. More importantly it also features an article from our own Mr Jason Chuen!
Read all about the role of 3D Printing here at “3D Printing in Medicine – a Transformative Technology“.
It was only 7 minutes of fame, so Andy Warhol might have been a little disappointed. We managed a short TV interview on Sky News with Danica DeGiorgio after #3dMedAu17 finished.
Sadly, our recording isn’t very high quality, but if you have a HD copy then please let us know!
UPDATE: Interview now available on our Youtube Channel!
