3DMed aims to improve the affordability and large-scale accessibility of medical treatment using 3D printed devices. Top universities and innovative companies in the Netherlands, Belgium, France and the UK join forces in an unprecedented exercise to explore the full potential of the 3D printing technology for advanced medical care.

Objectives: 

3DMed aims to improve affordability and large scale accessibility of medical treatment using 3D printed devices. This will be achieved by increasing the TRL of state-of-the-art 3D printing technologies for medical applications and integrating them into a streamlined, fast, cost-effective software platform for use in routine clinical practice. 

The main objectives are:

Objective 1 – Streamlining and integration: To streamline the various steps of the 3D manufacturing process and integrate the data flows with pre-planning and post-operatory evaluation.
Objective 2 – Technology development: Advance the TRL of metallic, composite and polymeric 3D printed medical devices.
Objective 3 – Validation: Demonstrate the superior performance and ascertain the clinical benefits of the 3D printed medical devices developed in 3DMed.
