3D printing medical devices with John Kawola, CEO of Boston Micro Fabrication
Manage episode 503753030 series 2833485
When we think of medical devices and how they’re built, 3D printing isn’t necessarily the first thing that comes to mind. But Boston Micro Fabrication is at the cutting edge of an exciting development in how life-saving devices are prototyped and created.
With the news that the FDA is pivoting away from animal testing towards 3D organoids, and with the growing need to produce miniature, intricate and high-quality devices at speed, BMF’s nanometer-precise microArch 3D printing technology is opening the door to new possibilities - allowing the rapid production of equipment like stents, endoscopes, and even needles. A BMF-built catheter recently featured in a nature.com scientific report, delivering 183x higher drug concentrations for liver cancer treatment than would otherwise have been possible.
We were thrilled to talk to the CEO of BMF, John Kawola, about the company's exciting work.
