3D Biomedical Devices (GY)

  • Pioneering the fabrication of low-cost, highly adaptable, 3D-printed biomedical devices

Vertically Integrated Projects

We aim to design and prototype 3D-printed orthotics to be used as therapeutic tools for patients with limited mobility. Students develop and design 3D-printed orthotics and prosthetics. We investigate various computer-aided modeling techniques in addition to 3D-printing techniques and materials. We work alongside orthopedic surgeons and occupational therapists from Langone's Rusk Rehabilitation Center to refine our design and test the devices with patients at the hospital. This is an ongoing project supported by NYU Langone, the Ability Project, and the NYU Tandon MakerSpace.
