Orthopaedic Innovation Centre Director, Dale Kellington (centre, purple shirt), Leah Guenther - Manager of Biomedical Engineering and Lawrence Cruz - Lab Technologist, stand next to a 3D printer, also known as a Fused Deposition Modeling (or FDM) machine which looks like a large oven. It heats up and quickly cools a polycarbonate material and using precision technology creates bone-like tissues that can be used for modelling purposes or hip and knee components in the human body. Lawrence Cruz holds a half pelvic model developed from a CT scan and printed in this 3D printer in their facility for the purpose of surgical planning. The company also has a patent for infusing antibiotics into these components before they are surgically implanted into the human body. See story Cash story.
