We scan. We design. We print. We care.
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 at The University of Melbourne’s online magazine, Pursuit.
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.
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!
