How health systems are managing crisis response with 3D printing

Health systems must maintain resilient and adaptable supply chains in order to provide patient care in the midst of a crisis.

Join us for a fireside chat with Gaurav Manchanda, Director of Healthcare at Formlabs (MA, USA), and Todd Goldstein, Director of 3D Design and Innovation at Northwell Health (NY, USA). Learn how 3D printing technology is critical to the fight against COVID-19 and is an ideal tool for both surgical efficiencies ​and long-term clinical innovation.

Recently, Northwell Health repurposed their Formlabs 3D printers, which usually print surgical tools, to produce ​over 100,000 nasopharyngeal swabs​, mitigating global shortages and providing critical testing capabilities. Northwell Health also used 3D printing to develop and print critical supplies, including BiPAP to ventilator convertors and personal protective equipment (PPE).
