The Lattice (Official 3DHEALS Podcast)

In this fun and insightful conversation with the co-founder and co-owner of Cabiomede (Instagram: @CabiomedeVet), I learned a lot more about Mateusz Pawlik, who is behind many of the incredible 3D printing veterinary products for both surgical plannings and for educational purposes. As a young entrepreneur, Mateusz shared with us his earlier failures right out of school, later, business pivots, and future outlook on healthcare 3D printing, not just for veterinary medicine but also for human medicine. We discussed many challenges facing the industry, in particular, how to encourage healthcare providers to adopt a new way of practice and thinking.

In this episode, we were able to have an in-depth conversation surrounding not just Amy Karle's major artworks using 3D printing and Bioprinting, but also her personal journey as a bioartist and the meanings behind her artworks.  The two works we focused on include :1. Regenerative Reliquary, which is a bioprinted scaffold with stem cells in the shape of a hand in a bioreactor to grow bone tissue2. Heart Evolution, which is an artistic alternative design for a "better" heart that potentially could avoid existing Some of the questions we explored include:What does bioprinted organ replace imply to humanity and our identities?Who has the right to live and access the new and expensive technology that can prolong life?Who will have access to bioprinted or 3D printed medical devices first? What makes something beautiful (Aesthetics)?Why is it important to make something beautiful (or not)?What is the role of an artist in terms of aesthetics?Why is 3D printing (especially in medicine) often perceived as beautiful?How does an artist feel about generative design? Threatened by robots?  Youtube ShownotesInstagramBlogsAbout our guest: Amy Karle is an internationally award-winning bioartist whose work can be seen as artifacts of a speculative future when digital, physical, and biological systems merge. Her work opens future visions of how technology could be utilized to support and enhance humanity while making advancements towards those goals in the process.In the process of making the artwork, Karle utilizes the technological tools in question and collaborates directly with science and technology to create a joint space for imagination, exploration, and creation. Current projects probe who we could become as a result of exponential technologies and how interventions could alter the course of our future.Karle has exhibited in prestigious museums worldwide, including at the Smithsonian, USA; The Mori Museum, Japan; The Centre Pompidou, France; Beijing Media Arts Biennale, China; Ars Electronica, Austria; and is regularly invited to share her insights as an expert speaker and in think tanks.

In this fun, Instagram live we interviewed Robert Pugliese, who is the Director of Innovation Design at Thomas Jefferson University, and Jefferson Health where he co-founded the Health Design Lab, a creative space built with the purpose of merging together design-studio ethos with science-oriented discipline to foster innovation in healthcare. As usual, we started our conversation with his early career, the path to founding Health Design Lab, and how 3D printing played a role in all that. Robert's 3D printing lab does not have fancy 3D printers, and he is a firm believer that having excellent design holds the key to solutions and 3D printing is a great tool to achieve that design. We were also fortunate to have a brief virtual tour of Robert's lab and talked about a few super cool clinical cases Robert is working on at the moment.Full show notes and video recording: Robert Pugliese: Design for Healthcare with 3DPrintingInstagram account: @healthdesignlabAbout our Guest Robert Pugliese:Robert S.

In this episode, I had the pleasure to chat with professor Stephanie Willerth at the University of Victoria, also the founder of Axolotl Biosciences.Stephanie is not only an expert in bioprinting and bioinks in general, but also one of a few scientists in the world focusing on using 3D cell models on common but devastating neurological diseases such as GBM, Parkinson's Disease, and Alzheimer's Disease. We started with some basic concepts related to bioprinting, bioinks, organoids, and organ-on-a-chip, and some of the general current applications and ongoing researches. All of these technologies, however, require sophisticated bioink formulation to achieve structural and functional goals. Also, who are the major players in commercial bioprinting? Other versions of this episode: WebsiteInstagramAxolotl BiosciencesWillerth LabYoutubePast blog by prof.

I had a lot of fun chatting with this international group of young entrepreneurs out of KTH from Akira Science ( @akirascience) in Sweden. We started the conversation on how the members of the team met. Then we moved onto the biopolymers the team is working on and commercializing, including why it is important to have controllable biodegradable biocompatible and 3D printable materials. We also touched upon the potential killer applications using the Akira biopolymer, including creating a scaffold for breast cancer lobectomy patients and wound healing. We also talked about the unique innovation and entrepreneurial environment in Sweden.

We had some technical issues with the IG live session but fortunately, we are able to salvage pearls of wisdom from Satori3DP CEO ChengXi. Here is the recording of our fun, pragmatic, and inspiring conversation about the current and future status of #dental3Dprinting #startuplife , how to make it work with new technologies (hint: not always easy or straightforward), and the importance of good customer service. As usual, there was also a live demo of fascinating 3D printed designs. About our guest ChengXi Wang and Satori 3DP: Graduated with MBA from the University of Oxford and certified as CFA, Chengxi is an interdisciplinary entrepreneur who develops technology products with a human-centered approach. She is leading the London-based Satori team to challenge the status quo by making high-quality professional 3D printing affordable, and push the boundary of our imagination with thoughtful 3D printed products.  The new release of Satori ST1600 3D printer focuses on solving the pain points in dentistry. It can be afforded by the dental clinics to fabricate clear aligners (the same technology used in Invisalign), surgical drill guides, orthodontic models, and other dental solutions. Dentists and patients don't need to wait for weeks to get their work done by dental labs and can potentially get their aligners 3D printed under an hour at a production cost less than £5. In the face of supply chain disruption catalyzed by COVID and Brexit, Satori's affordable and user-friendly professional 3D printers can adapt to the work from home environment and bring remote manufacturing localized, which empowers businesses to gain control over uncertainty and transform their performance with efficiency.  Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=STF9STPYVE2GG&source=url)
