3DHEALS kicked off its first in-person/hybrid event in 2025 in San Francisco, welcoming investors, entrepreneurs, and innovators in the space. The healthcare industry is transforming, driven by 3D printing and bioprinting technologies redefining patient care. This exclusive in-person hybrid event offered an opportunity to explore the latest advancements in custom prosthetics, implants, bioprinted tissues, and scaffolds. The remarkable convergence of 3D printing and healthcare transforms medicine through customized solutions that weren't possible a decade ago. This episode brings together five leaders in the healthcare field who are harnessing additive manufacturing to solve real clinical problems and improve patient outcomes.

Summary:

  • 3D-printed spinal implants have evolved from simple titanium cages to sophisticated expandable devices that restore alignment and relieve nerve compression
  • Patient-specific radiation shields protect healthy tissue during cancer treatment, reducing devastating side effects like oral mucositis
  • Bioprinted organoids are creating human-derived testing platforms for drug discovery
  • 3D-printed trabecular metal structures are providing better bone integration for joint replacements
  • AR/VR integration with 3D printing is a robust tool for surgical planning, training, and patient education..
  • Evidence-based innovation remains critical, focusing on validated clinical problems rather than technology for technology's sake.
  • The shift toward ambulatory surgical centers drives demand for minimally invasive solutions that 3D printing can uniquely deliver.
  • Investment in medical 3D printing continues as clinical applications expand.

The experts emphasize that successful innovation must be evidence-based, addressing validated clinical problems rather than pursuing complexity for its own sake. The speakers agreed, "Just because it's complex doesn't mean it's better." This wisdom encapsulates the mindful approach needed as we continue exploring the vast potential of 3D printing in healthcare.
