Publisher Future Science Group (FSG) has announced the launch of 3DMedNet, a new online community for professionals with an interest in the medical uses of 3D printing.
One of the most exciting technological developments in recent years has been the development of the 3D printer: it has the potential to impact many areas of medicine and healthcare, such as personalised pharmaceuticals and prosthetics, tissue engineering, and development of superior surgical tools. However, this field is still in its infancy, and has many technological and regulatory hurdles to overcome.
Using the Zapnito platform, 3DMedNet will allow members to quickly access user-generated news, discussion and opinion from the field of 3D printing in medicine, including webinars, interviews, infographics and editorials – all completely free. Members of the networking site will also be able to share their own content and insights, and receive exclusive free access to select articles from the peer-reviewed publication Journal of 3D Printing in Medicine, which FSG will launch later this year.
Content of the network will focus on implants, prosthetics and medical devices; surgical tools; 3D bioprinting for tissue and organ engineering; technology and regulatory developments; and drug development.
