Biolibrary - Snap, Print, Fit: Revolutionizing Orthopedics with 3D Tech

Shared by Gemma Tria on 2024-11-07 10:21

About the solution

Biolibrary is revolutionizing orthopedic care by harnessing the power of digital technology and 3D printing to transform patient treatment and recovery. Our platform, MERGE3D, leverages advanced algorithms to convert simple photographs of a patient's limb into a detailed 3D model. This model serves as the blueprint for creating personalized orthopedic solutions that fit perfectly, ensuring comfort and accelerating recovery.

Here's how it works: A doctor takes three photographs of the affected area, uploads them to our secure cloud-based platform, and selects the best-fit medical device from our extensive digital library. MERGE3D then seamlessly merges the patient's data with the selected device template, adjusting it to the exact specifications required.

The final step is a game-changer: the platform outputs a standard STL file that can be sent to any 3D printer, anywhere in the world. This means that hospitals and clinics can produce bespoke orthopedic devices on-demand, slashing wait times, reducing costs, and most importantly, improving patient outcomes.

Biolibrary's solution represents a pivotal shift from traditional, one-size-fits-all approaches to a more personalized, efficient, and sustainable method of medical care. With our innovative platform, we're not just creating orthopedic devices; we're crafting a future where medical solutions are as unique as the patients they help.

About the author

In July 2015, Antonio Puce faced a severe health crisis that led to a groundbreaking innovation. After a complex shoulder surgery and being immobilized by an unwieldy cast during an extremely hot summer, Antonio, a 3D printing innovation manager, envisioned a better way. Inspired by his discomfort and the inefficiencies of traditional casts, he conceived Biolibrary. His idea: a platform that uses photogrammetry and 3D printing to create perfectly fitting, personalized orthopedic devices quickly and efficiently, revolutionizing patient care.
