WORLD FIRST SURGERY The CSIRO has played a key role in ground-breaking new technology that has led to a world-first in surgery, using a 3D printed titanium sternum and rib implant. The 3D printed body parts were designed and manufactured in Melbourne. The technology that allowed a Spanish cancer patient to receive the titanium sternum and rib implant was a collaboration between a Melbourne-based medical device company, Anatomics, and CSIRO’s 3D printing facility, Lab 22, at Clayton. The breakthrough is an impressive example of what can be achieved when industry and science come together.
