3D-Printed Titanium Jaw
BY David Charles Ackland
THEME LEADER Peter Vee Sin Lee
SUPPORTED BY University of Melbourne, as part of the NGV Triennial – exploring the emerging intersections of art, design, science and society.
Dr David Ackland’s research focuses on simulation of human movement where he employs medical imaging and human motion experiments, using cutting edge 3D printing technology to create a working body part that will improve the quality of life of his patients. For Triennial Voices, Dr Ackland shares visual insights into his 3D-printed titanium jaw, which is revolutionising joint replacement surgery by allowing the creation of fully customised implants that can be rapidly printed and fitted to patients individual needs.
