From Formula 1 Tracks to the Operating Theatre
In short: 3D printing is moving beyond industrial prototyping to reshape modern medicine. This lecture explores how additive manufacturing is transitioning from high-speed racing to high-stakes patient care.
While 3D printing is already a staple for rapid prototyping in Formula 1, its application in healthcare is currently revolutionizing how patients receive treatment. Martin Elliott examines the shift from creating mechanical parts to improving clinical outcomes.
The lecture is part of Gresham College's long-standing tradition of providing free public education, a practice dating back to 1597. It highlights the technology's potential to move from a niche industrial tool to a fundamental pillar of personalized healthcare.
