3Devices, a 3D printing hackathon @unimelb is here! Over 4 nights, prototype a device in teams that you can present to an expert and industry panel.https://t.co/HKbFjzMRnu@ResPlat @UniMelbMDHS, @engunimelb pic.twitter.com/SzuaEvuPRE
We kicked off with introductory talks on March 28 along with a “speed-dating” session to match up bright minds in Medicine, Dentistry, Allied Health and Engineering, along with some inspiring talks.
What is a Bi-Stable Compliant Mechanism???
OK, this might be a bit off-topic, but we just discovered Compliant Mechanisms and they are waaay too much fun not to share. This has been so mesmerising our poor fidget spinner is sitting in the corner feeling neglected.

#3dMedAu18 Recap- Day 1
It’s been a month since #3dMedAu18, and my goodness it’s been one hell of a ride. Thank you to everyone who made the weekend, especially those of you who made the journey from overseas or interstate. Thank you also to all conference attendees who submitted such positive feedback. After a well earned rest, we’ll be working hard to make #3dMed19 even bigger and better!
In the aftermath of this year’s conference, we’ve managed to inspire the next generation of innovators, and new collaborations have sprouted. Mission accomplished.
Thanks Jen @Enablethefuture, Jason @ozvascdoc, Sarah, Aaron, @3DMedLab delegates. You have inspired Nick @N1cholasG on what is possible with 3D printing to help people. 3dMed will be a springboard to his creativity and the pursuit of future goals. Thank you for sharing.#3dmedau18 pic.twitter.com/500desrGMS

Countdown to #3dMedAu18 — Speaker Profile: Jen Owen
With five whole days left to go before the 3dMed Australia Conference, we are proud to welcome Jen Owen to Australia in order to speak at #3dMedAu18.
Based in Washington state, Jen is founder of the ground-breaking Enable the Future project (e-NABLE) — a philanthropic, multinational, collaborative and grassroots-driven effort to make open-source, self-assembled designs for prosthetic hands and arms which can be 3d-printed at the point of care. This project inspired Austin Health prosthetist Jake Eadie to develop a 3d-printed prosthesis program as part of 3dMedLab.
The 3dMed Australia Conference 2018 is dedicated to exploring the use of 3D technologies in Medicine including 3d-printing, 3d-modelling, virtual reality and augmented reality. Register now to attend, media enquiries welcome.
