My alphabet starts where your alphabet ends!”ĭr. I’m telling you this ’cause you’re one of my friends. That I never could spell if I stopped with the Z. In the places I go, there are things that I see When I picked up the chalk and drew one letter more!Īnd I said, “You can stop, if you want, with the Z. Then he almost fell flat on his face on the floor From the start to the close.īecause Z is as far as the alphabet goes.” Wright, I approach biomedical 3D through the same lens by applying the concepts, techniques, and technology we use to design skyscrapers to creating better 3D technologies for pre-surgical planning.įrom beginning to end. Wright is famous for redefining what it meant to be an Architect by applying the concepts, technology, and techniques he used in his buildings to Fashion, Jewelry, Sculpture, Industrial Design, Structural Engineering, and farming to name a few.

As a child, I grew up near Spring Green Wisconsin and Taliesin, the summer home and school of Frank Lloyd Wright. However quixotical it may seem, Architects have a long tradition of coloring outside the lines. The tools I use are mostly design and engineering-based and I am much more comfortable designing houses in Aspen, Aerospace buildings, and O.R’s than designing the equipment inside. My journey into biomedical 3D printing is quixotical and as a result, the technologies I bring into the conversation are different, disruptive, and redefining what is possible for improving patient care.Īs an Architect, I see the entire problem of biomedical 3D technology differently. We are in the early stages of our first fundraising round. MIX provides ultra-high-resolution 3D voxel printed pre-surgical planning models and computational analysis for surgeons and healthcare professionals. However, this blog post is going to avoid the prevailing Damocles and focus on the promise of exciting technologies poised to positively impact society.Ĭurrently, I am a Clinical Design Researcher at the University of Colorado Anschutz and the CEO of MIX Surgical Technologies. As a result, my 3D printing services are in high demand to assist with these cases on the front end as the pandemic protocols wash over my hospitals.

These conferences are intended to review the surgical cases for the coming week, the plan, in each surgical discipline, is to prioritize the most critical and complex cases to lessen the load of surgeries and free up nursing staff. As I write this blog, I’m sitting in the last of 3 surgical conferences on Friday, March 16th, we are discussing the pandemic protocols being enacted. The call for 3D printing in healthcare is never mellifluous nor easy to celebrate, because the demand for a pre-surgical 3D printed model is always a harbinger of a serious disease and a complicated surgery.
