Idea

Medex3D is a “hospital solution in a box” that provides a high-quality 3D printer, a mobile platform with library of useful medical products and devices for printing in the hospital, clinic or healthcare facility including a degree of managed services. It can assist healthcare workers fighting the COVID-19 pandemic with PPE incl. 3D printed masks, visors etc without any knowledge of 3D printing. We have also added content from orthopaedics, prosthetics, training, medical assistive devices and water & sanitation.

Current Status

Pre-seed

The founders have already invested over $165 000 on developing the mobile application - currently used in the education space with a number of schools and households (called Why Toyz). This platform has been repurposed for healthcare and integrated into industrial grade 3D printer (can be integrated into any 3D printer anywhere).

Market

Problem or Opportunity
