The veritable explosion of mind-boggling progress at the widening intersection of Healthcare and 3D Printing is one reason that we’re focusing more energy on this inventive and innovative new sector. (Follow our just-launched HCx3DP New York initiative!)  Other reasons are the commercial and common-good outcomes this novel technology is beginning to deliver in the personal and public spheres—for our society’s betterment.

Our Newest
“HCx3DP Album of Innovation”:

HCx3DP NY-Latest Tech Prez-Rev 5-14N14

 

If you’d like to see this “Album” presented live—with my narration—come join us at our first HCx3DP New York Meetup event. This first get-together of our brand-new HCx3DP Community will offer a number of informative modes for your enhanced knowledge of the new and important intersection of Healthcare and 3D Printing. (Or, as our new “brand” proclaims: HCx3DP, Healthcare Multiplied By 3D Printing.) Our very first Meetup modes will include demos, attendee intros, this Album presentation, a DIY/DIT Healthcare panel and networking with light refreshments.

Here’s how we introduce and describe all the latest planned action on our HCx3Dp New York Meetup Group Page:

Welcome HCx3DP Synergist! 


(…present or prospective…)

Our “HCx3DP New York” Meetup—HCx3DP stands for “Healthcare Multiplied by 3D Printing”—is designed to help grow a community of Metro NYC “HCx3DP Synergists.” Together, we will strive to discover, learn, exchange and advance personal, commercial and common-good knowledge about the new, important and valuable at the exciting and empowering intersection of HC & 3DP in our New York City. (For further background on our Meetup directions (and planned “ecosystem”), link to my Blog post of 27 October: “HCx3DP New York: The Launch of ‘Healthcare Multiplied By 3D Printing’ in the Capital of Healthcare & 3DP…”)

Best!
