Registration FormRegistration Form Medical Applications of 3D Printing: Biomodeling and Patient Specific Instrumentsby Ir Dr Martin Wong & Mr Louis Sze3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is a process that builds an object layer by layer in a range of different materials, which eliminate the need of manufacturing tools, such as moulds. 3D printing has more freedom in making complicated shape and the process is highly automated which improves operation efficiency and frees up valuable human resources. The earliest form of 3D printing was invented almost 30 years ago. Nevertheless, the emerge of low- cost 3D printer has recently triggered the explosion of media coverage. Nowadays, many people argue that the technology is still too slow, too inaccurate and too expensive to impact the manufacturing sector and our lives. With the right application, however, we can benefit from the technology tremendously.

This talk will focus on the medical applications of 3D technology, illustrated with examples in biomodeling and patient specific instruments.

Reawakening TechnoSphere Creatures Discover that They are Not Alone after a 20-year Sleepby Prof Jane ProphetThis talk compares two versions of the same "artificial life" artwork, separated by twenty years, 1990s TechnoSphere and Social TechnoSphere from 2014. We exploit recent technological developments such as App design and 3D printing to support the co-creation of creatures. Social TechnoSphere contributes to the debate around using materials to represent data and to the wider discussion pertaining to the "material turn". In the 1990s, TechnoSphere’s artificial creatures had no physical form and only existed in virtual space. Twenty years later, Social TechnoSphere facilitates the relationship between human designer and his/her artificial creature through a 3D printed life creature.

Manufacturing The Futureby Mr Michele MarchesanIn this talk, Mr Michele Marchesan will share the overnight success of 3D printing that has actually been more than 30 years in the making, from the printing of the first part in March of 1983 to today’s seven distinct technologies and over 100 print materials. From prototyping to the production of real end use parts, 3D Systems technologies have changed lives for the better through products that get to market faster and better, healthcare solutions that offer a custom fit and improved patient outcomes to the printing of food, ceramics, jet engine parts and, in the very near future, organ and bone replacements. With a focus on innovation and democratization, 3D Systems continues to provide solutions that are used to rapidly design, create, communicate, prototype or produce real parts, empowering customers and consumers to manufacture the future.

Emerging Technologies Forum

Ir Dr Martin Wong, Senior Engineer and Head of Technology Application in BioMed Unit from PolyU Industrial Centre, began his work on establishing the first demonstration and training centre in the region for numerous leading companies in 3D printing industry, such as 3D Systems, Stratasys and Materialise, etc. For the past two decades, he has helped to develop and promote the applications of 3D printing and other advanced manufacturing technology to a wide spectrum of industries such as toys & jewelry, electronics, automotive and textile, etc. in East Asia.

He later promoted the application of 3D printing and computer-assisted technology into the medical field. His collaborations with local surgeons and technologists have drastically improved the technical competence of the local medical industry, especially in the field of dentistry, orthopedics and neurology. Currently, he is elected as an Honorary Assistant Professor in The Prince of Philip Dental Hospital in the field of oral maxillofacial surgery.

Mr Louis Sze, Assistant Engineer in Technology Application in BioMed Unit from PolyU Industrial Centre and currently finishing his PhD in Orthopedics in CUHK. In the past few years, Louis has provided biomodeling and prosthesis fabrication support to the dental hospital in Hong Kong with the emphasis of CADCAM and 3D printing applications. He has also successfully conducted different cadaveric studies and clinical trials for the application of digital workflow in different orthopedic surgeries. His research interests include medical applications of 3D printing, patient specific instruments and high fidelity manikin model for medical training.

Prof Jane Prophet, Associate Dean from CityU's School of Creative Media is an artist who has worked with new media for two decades making photographic pieces, installations, objects and video. Her works combine images of real and simulated landscapes and include miniature 3D printed trees made from mathematical data. Her art and science collaborations with stem cell researchers, mathematicians and heart surgeons radically re-envisage the human body. In 2005, she won a National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts Fellowship. Past projects include the award-winning artwork, TechnoSphere.

Mr Michele Marchesan, as Chief Opportunity Officer of 3D Systems, is responsible for leading 3D Systems’ global sales team to build business across industries. Michele invests his energy in providing the necessary internal and external support to establish 3D Systems’ personal and professional 3D printers as the leaders of their respective sectors. Prior to assuming his current role, Michele worked as 3D Systems’ Vice President and General Manager of Personal and Professional 3D Printers, and as 3D Systems’ Director of Sales for Europe and Asia Pacific. In Europe, Michele built a printer channel from the ground up before guiding his team to achieve record European revenues for 3D printers. As Director of Sales for Asia Pacific, Michele expanded the scope of the region’s business from a small unit to a meaningful contributing market.
