Episode #108 | Teleporting Medicine with 3D Printing - Dr. Stephen Ryan, PolyUnity

About this episode

Dr. Stephen Ryan discusses how 3D printing can help hospitals produce medical parts on demand, especially during supply chain delays.

What happens when a hospital needs a simple part but the supply chain takes weeks or months to deliver it? Dr. Stephan Ryan, physician and co-founder of PolyUnity, set out to solve that problem by helping hospitals produce parts themselves through safe, compliant 3D printing. In this episode, Stephen Ryan shares how early clinical experiences and an academic 3D printing lab evolved into a platform designed to help hospitals manufacture equipment on demand. The COVID pandemic accelerated that ...
