Our Solutions
Aid Supplies On Demand
Over 315 million people need humanitarian assistance. 3D4MD’s growing digital catalog addresses the supply needs of humanitarian aid agencies, including Doctors Without Borders, the World Health Organization, Red Cross, and United Nations programmes.
Medical Care for Space Missions
Cost and storage constraints severely limit the medical care capabilities of space missions. 3D4MD makes lower cost, high quality 3D printable designs of medical resources to treat an ill or injured astronaut on-site during a long space mission.
Solar Powered, Mobile 3D Printers
3 billion people do not have access to the Internet and 675 million people lack access to electricity. 3D4MD designed and tested a solar-powered, plug-and-play, and ultra-portable 3D printing system to manufacture medical supplies in offline, offgrid regions.
Personalized Virtual Care Solutions
3.43 billion people lives in rural areas where finding specialized medical skills, equipment and items can be impossible. 3D4MD uses cellphone photos to design customized, 3D printable medical devices for patients in remote communities.
Accessible Assistive Devices
Over 1 billion people have a disability and many of them cannot obtain assistive devices that allow them to participate fully in everyday life. 3D4MD designs award-winning, 3D printable assistive devices to save time and money for people with disabilities.
Global Surgery Solutions
5 billion people lack access to safe, timely, and affordable surgical care. 3D4MD has created and tested 3D printable surgical devices and simulators to advance surgical education and care in the most challenging places to those who need it the most.
