🔒 Episode #74 | Design for Medical 3D Printing and Bioprinting (Virtual Event Recording)

Subscriber-only episode

Design for medical 3D printing is not just new software. It reinvents the current design thinking behind medical device innovations, removing many traditional manufacturing constraints. 3D printing (earlier also known as rapid prototyping) is particularly complementary to design thinking, where an iterative approach is required to solve complex problems. Also, unlike conventional methods, 3D printing allows for unprecedented customization and precision, enabling the creation of devices more tailored to individual patients’ specific anatomy or needs, which are typically more costly and sometimes even impossible with traditional manufacturing processes. In this virtual event, we aim to bring together the most active 3D printing software providers, engineers, and medical 3D printing designers to share their insights and updates on our existing toolkits for medical 3D printing design, best cost-effective practices, and future growth areas. We invite everyone motivated to learn, network, and collaborate in future medical innovations to join this critical (and brainy) conversation.

Episode #76 | Treating Type I Diabetes with FRESH Bioprinting: Interview with Mike Graffeo

Discover FRESH 3D bioprinting with Mike Graffio, CEO and co-founder of Fluoform3D. Having met at Carnegie Mellon University, Mike and Adam Feinberg have been on a mission to revolutionize the field of bioprinting, focusing on creating replacement tissues and organs without introducing foreign substances into the body. Mike shares the captivating journey from their engineering days in the 1990s through a pivotal 2015 conversation that transformed their research into a thriving startup and onto achieving significant milestones like developing living cardiac tissues and heart valves by 2018.
Our conversation uncovers the next frontier in 3D bioprinting, particularly the promising strides in islet cell replacement therapy for diabetes. You'll hear about how the FRESH bioprinitng propels this innovative field forward. With breakthroughs in small animal models showing potential for diabetes management, we explore how the team is gearing up for more extensive studies and human clinical trials. This episode also delves into their strategic fundraising efforts and partnerships to bring these advancements to life.
Summary:
• Overview of Fluoform3D and its founding story
• Explanation of FRESH Technology and its significance in bioprinting
• Current progress in cardiac applications and in vitro tissues
• Ongoing projects related to therapeutic applications for type I diabetes
• Insights into navigating funding and building investor relationships
• Discussion on regulatory pathways and interactions with the FDA
• Emphasis on company culture and team dynamics
• Recommendations for industry insights and staying informed about bioprinting trends
