ISMO is 3D Printing Prototypes

3D Printing technology is well used in prototyping, especially when the product is only to be presented to potential investors and manufacturers of its components. The founders of ISMO start-up (Interactive System for Medicine On-Line) have successfully tried out the VSHAPER for their 3D Printing.

The ISMO idea is the accurate, secure and immediate recording of disease and its transfer to the GP’s office for medical consultation.
We value solutions based on needs more than needs created only to sell solutions. Creating ISMO we are primarily concerned with making it easier for people to consult with a physician based on photos or depiction of the disease prepared by the patient himself, without queues or leaving home – says Joanna Borowska, the […]

HZG Studies Hybrid Structures with 3D Printing Technology
