Int J Rheum Dis: Lipoprotein (a) related accelerated atherosclerosis in a young patient: An important differential when considering Takayasu arteritis

Not all of our work involves 3D Printing! In this paper on the differential diagnosis of Lipoprotein (a) atherosclerosis vs Takayasu’s arteritis, 3D Modelling helped visualise the pathology and preparation of the manuscript.

In many cases the standard, templated 3D Volume Rendered (3DVR) reconstructions from PACS and diagnostic radiology workstations do the job, but when you specifically want to highlight features or portray complex elements, then clinical and anatomical input is critical.

Congratulations Dr Harris on this paper and we look forward to more collaborations like this!

EJVES: Flexible 3D Printed Templates for Treating Aortic Aneurysms

A template for physician modified FEVAR, 3d printed in flexible resin (Visijet CE-NT, 3d Systems).

It’s 2021 and Happy New Year 🎉 to all of our friends around the globe! We kick off the year with another publication — this time in the European Journal of Vascular Surgery.

We’ve been beavering away making 3D Printed Flexible aortic models for the design and preparation of physician-modified fenestrated endovascular aortic stent-grafts.

Read all about the great work of Dr Jasamine Coles-Black, Prof Tracie Barber, and A/Prof Jason Chuen in this collaborative project between Austin Health, The University of Melbourne and the University of New South Wales!

Anaesthesia Reports: The design and manufacture of 3D‐printed adjuncts for powered air‐purifying respirators

You know that little tingle that goes down your spine when something goes right? We we are feeling it now, with our most recent paper published in Anaesthesia Reports.

These little critters are making a huge difference to our surgery and anaesthesia teams in the midst of this COVID-19 pandemic, making sure that their Powered Air Purifying Respirators (PAPRs) are working properly and keeping them safe under their surgical gowns — let’s hope that it helps others as well.

#3dMed19 hasn’t even started yet

#3dMed19 hasn’t even started yet and some of our faculty and attendees can’t contain themselves. We love Twitter, and the hashtags and mentions have already started flowing. If you can’t be at the conference then follow the #3dmed19 hashtag on Twitter, or if you really want to get #meta them keep an eye on the leaderboard over at Symplur.

ARC Centre for Medical Implant Technologies Launch Event

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.
