We scan. We design. We print. We care.
No, we aren’t talking about the movie, but it is great to see more hospital-based 3d-printing facilities including this team at Chris O’Brien Lifehouse, featured in Nine News.
These projects, which have been underway for quite a long time at multiple centres, are key to innovating and solving clinical problems as they arise; maximising clinician input and involvement in biomedical engineering and device development.
We’re excited to share a new collaborative publication in Cureus: Three-Dimensional Printing in Cardiothoracic Surgery: Workflow and Clinical Applications.
This paper by Dr Charles Jenkinson in Perth and supported by our team, outlines a streamlined workflow for implementing 3D printing in cardiothoracic surgery. It highlights practical clinical applications from aortic pathology to congenital heart disease, where patient-specific models can enhance surgical planning, simulation, and team communication.
We’re proud to contribute to the growing body of cross-disciplinary research making advanced technologies more accessible and impactful in real-world clinical settings.

We seem to be humming along 
through 2021 with more publications in the works. Our latest is this article published in a Frontiers in Surgery Special Edition from Dr Jasamine Coles-Black, Prof Damien Bolton and A/Prof Jason Chuen reviewing the role of 3D Printed Vascular Models. Make sure you check it out!
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!
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.
