3D PRINTSHOW TO DEMONSTRATE LATEST 3D PRINTING
ADVANCEMENTS IN PROSTHETICS, ORGANS, STEM CELLS AND
SURGICAL PLANNING
Medical applications illustrate direct benefits to patient care, costs and efficiencies
London, Tuesday 12th May – The UK’s leading 3D Printshow’s London, this year boasts a
wealth of medical features used to demonstrate how 3D Print technology is driving lifeimpacting changes to medical procedures and patient care, as well as reducing costs and
increasing medical efficiencies.
With a visit to the 3D Printshow’s revolutionary in-show hospital or its half-day medical
conference, entitled 3D Printing for Medical Change, visitors will discover how Open Bionics
is working towards affordable and accessible prosthetics. Live at the show, attendees will also
see real applications including a 3D printed robotic hand, and hear from Professor Lee Cronin
from Glasgow University, talking about the use of 3D printing to create inorganic biology.
From Heriot-Watt University, Alan Faulkner-Jones will explore 3D bioprinting with stem cells,
whilst Dr. Muhanad Hatamleh, will demonstrate how Stratasys 3D printing was used in
pioneering maxillofacial reconstruction at King’s College Hospital.
“In the medical world, 3D printing has been responsible for some of the year’s most incredible
science and tech stories – from 3D printed hearts and skulls to a little girl with an amazing
purple and pink 3D-printed arm,” states Kerry Hogarth, founder of 3D Printshow, “We aim to
provide visitors with a truly awe inspiring glimpse into the transformative power of 3D print
technology.
“A lot of people associate this technology with art, design or engineering, but 3D printed
medicine is jaw-dropping. Medical is one of the fields in which 3D printing is really changing
people’s lives.”
3D Printshow London 2015 takes place at The Old Truman Brewery, London, across 21-23rd
May. To find out more, visit the www.3dprintshow.com.

printing event anywhere in the world. From a small public-facing technology show, the brand
has grown to a global series of events for industry, businesses, brands and consumers with a
reputation for high-quality, high-value events.
With seven shows in seven major cities and a series of summits in 2015, 3D Printshow is
creating a truly global presence to match the exponential growth of the incredible 3D printing
industry. Much more than just a trade show, 3D Printshow brings together key players from
the entire 3D printing ecosystem. Creating a platform for the entire 3D Printing /Additive
Manufacturing (AM) industry, the shows feature industrial AM machines, desktop 3D printers
and everything in-between.
From engineers and product designers through to brands and makers, 3D Printshow explores
how 3D printing is used, inviting future customers to interact directly with experts on the show
floor.
